Rating: 95 Drink Date 2016 – 2037 Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr. Issue Date 30th Dec 2016 Celebrating its 40th anniversary vintage, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Stag?s Leap Vineyard (S.L.V.) Estate-Grown may be one of the all-time great offerings from Stag?s Leap Vineyard. It?s not easy to say after 40 years of achievement, but it is certainly a candidate for one of the finest Stags Leap Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons ever made, particularly under this moniker (We have to exclude the Cask 23 and the Fay Vineyard.) Opulent, with fabulous texture, a dense purple color, great blueberry and blackcurrant fruit with spice and flowers, this is sexy Cabernet Sauvignon that should drink beautifully for another 20 years or more. The balance is sensational. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// eRobertParker.com #222 Dec 2015 Robert M. Parker, Jr. RATED 96 Drink: 2015 – 2055 $155.00 The 40th anniversary cuvée 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. is a real beauty without a hard edge to be found. It has a velvety texture, beautiful blueberry, black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, a judicious touch of oak, sweet, creamy full-bodied opulence, stunning purity, and represents a prodigious effort to celebrate 40 years.
