“The Leap from winemaker Christophe Paubert just seems like it progresses to better and better” – Michael Godel (tidl. årg.)

Stags Leap er Napa Valleys nok mest legendariske terroir – og har været det siden 1976, hvor en Cabernet Sauvignon herfra triumferede i blindsmagningen “The Judgement of Paris” foran bl.a. Mouton Rothschild og Haut-Brion!

To vinerier har længe kæmpet om navneretten til at repræsentere distriktet. Som kompromis har begge beholdt navnet - med apostroffens placering som forskel. I dag rivaliserer Stags’ Leap Winery og Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars kun om at lave områdets ultimative Cabernet Sauvignon.

Men hos Stags’ Leap Winery får du flagskibet “The Leap” til en brøkdel af prisen for rivalerne. Vi taler vinhusets bedste fade Cabernet Sauvignon fra udvalgte parceller på over hundrede år gamle Estate-marker i Stags Leap District.

The Leap er tilmed skabt af superstjernen Christophe Paubert, der i flere år var kældermester for Château d’Yquem 1. Cru Classé. Christophe forkæler flagskibet hele 20 mdr. på franske barriquefade, heraf 60% helt nye. Inden da lader han vinen fra hver enkelt parcel macerere ca. 1 måned for at trække seriøse mængder farve, tannin og kompleksitet fra Cabernet Sauvignon-frugtens tykke drueskind.

Resultatet er den berømte “iron fist in a velvet glove”. Et magisk mix af vidunderlig koncentration, balanceret friskhed, terroirtypisk mineralitet, smoothness og finesse… 100% topvin og 200% top-value i den nye årgang 2020, der scorer fornemme 96 points hos James Suckling!

Nyd vinen til det fineste oksekød, lam, vildtkød eller barbeque. Servér ved 16-18°C.

Cassis, fruit cake, and violets followed by ground vanilla beans and mint chocolate with underlying crushed rocks and black ink notes. Full-bodied, firm yet finely grained ripe tannins with good freshness to it. Outstanding concentration with framed structure. Opulent yet harmonious. A blend of 92% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petit sirah, 3% malbec and 1% merlot. Aged for 20 months in 65% new French oak barriques. Give this more time to come around. Try after 2027.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap waltzes out with gregarious notions of black cherry preserves, boysenberries, and creme de cassis followed by hints of rose oil, chocolate box, and cardamom. The medium to full-bodied palate is filled with bright, crushed, black and blue fruits, framed by lively acidity and fine-grained tannins, finishing with great length and purity.

Fragrant dried thyme and mulberry notes with red liquorice, toasted coconut and iron shavings. Full-bodied with a real purity of blackberry fruit and mixed-berry compote. A dusty tannin backbone and a long mineral finish underscore the satiny fruit profile.

Aromas of blackcurrants, black licorice, thyme and violets. Full-bodied with silky, taught tannins. Juicy and vibrant on the palate with well-balanced acidity. Berry flavors. Great tension here. This has a lovely life ahead of it.

Stags' Leap Winery The Leap 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is dry, full-bodied and fragrant with black currant, blackberry, chocolate, baking and cedar spice aromas and layers of flavours with a flinty, stony finish fresh on the palate. Tannins are firm and chewy. Showing great promise now, but would benefit from some mellowing out time in cellar.

Wine Review Online

I often find myself in the position of tasting 100% varietal wines and wishing that the winemaking decisions had included the blending in of small amounts of complementary varieties. Not so in this case, as winemaker Christophe Paubert wisely chooses to let this fruit announce itself clearly and unashamedly. It's a wine that can benefit from some taming time, but you'll want to give it a go in its youth for its exuberance and complexity, enjoying the full force of blackberry, cassis, cherry, pepper, cedary spice notes and hint of espresso. I'd call this a value priced bottle in its neighborhood.

Hvordan smager Stags' Leap Winery Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap 2020?

Ved ophældningen imponerer Stags Leap 2020 med en dyb solbærmørk farve i glasset. Næsen afslører en elegant og powerfuld Cabernet med lag på lag af luksuriøse duftnuancer... Fra glasset strømmer saftige solbær, sorte kirsebær, vildtvoksende viol, grillede krydderurter, cedertræ, sorte oliven, mørk chokolade, espresso, grafit og mineralske knuste sten... I munden voluminøs og vibrerende med smoothness og nuancerigdom i ren verdensklasse. Et klassisk eksempel på Stags Leap Cabernet fra øverste hylde. Hele herligheden kulminerer i en opulent, yndefuld og usandsynligt lækker finish, hvor frugten, fadet og de silkefine tanniner glider over målstregen som en scoring i super slow motion, før en infernalsk jubel bryder løs... Drik nu, eller gem +25 år fra høståret.
