About Stag's Leap Wine Cellars 2016 Hands of Time Red, Napa Valley
Here's a succulent blend from Stag's Leap. Along a shady walkway on the grounds of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars one comes across a succession of limestone plaques, each bearing a hand-print. These handprints comprise the Hands of Time exhibit, an enduring tribute to the many people who contributed to the winery's history over the years and who have gone on to become celebrated winemakers and viticulturists in their own right. This wine is named for that exhibit. This wine from the excellent 2016 vintage is a blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec, aged 19 months in French and American oak, 15% new. Overall, 2016 was a year where quality was high. The winery uses all of their resources for this wine including estate grapes from SLV and Fay as well as grapes they source for Artemis. There's no mistaking that it has pedigree as soon as you take in the bouquet with its aromas of boysenberry, fig and red currant along with hints of clove and dried fruit. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied and textured with lingering dried fruit, mixed berry flavors and hints of spice. The finish is long and supple. An affordable treat from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars.
