Vinous 95
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Magic Nights is laced with inky dark fruit, licorice, creme de cassis, chocolate, sweet spice and licorice. I would give the tannins a few years to soften, but there is a lot to like and to look forward to here. This is an especially potent expression of Stags Leap, and it works so well. Winemaker Chris Tynan draws fruit from across all the Lede estate parcels. As always, this series, known as ‘Rock Block’ (with a name that changes each year) is especially luscious.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2038

2020 Aperture, Red Blend, Alexander Valley 1x75cl
Blend: 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Malbec, 28% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc
Cases: 2,189
Few wines can boast such a balance of complexity and depth with a style that is guaranteed to put a huge smile... on the faces of everyone who drinks them. You can lay back and enjoy the experience just as much as you can admire the craftsmanship that went into making them.
The Red Blend is remarkable wine featuring the classic Bordeaux varietals - Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot - yet it stands apart for the 40% of Malbec in the blend. This fruit is truly special, coming from the Farrow Ranch and Rockpile Ridge Vineyards that Jesse champions with his multiple 100-point Devil Proof Malbecs.

2017 Bevan Cellars, Ontogeny Red Wine, Napa Valley 6x75cl
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot. Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec
Vintage production: n/a
The key to this magical and dynamic blend is the vineyard sources: in addition to Sugarloaf Mountain... and Wildfoote Vineyards, the core of the fruit comes from blocks 5 and 7 in the Tench Vineyard which literally run alongside the fenceline of neighbouring Screaming Eagle - that's some serious terroir. Russell makes his selection in the cellar, picking single-vineyard barrels that are crying out to be blended together for an earlier drinking, hedonistic, and utterly delicious wine.
The Ontogeny is a true cellar-barrel selection, and is always the last of the cuvées to be blended making each new release highly-anticipated!

2018 Clos Solene, Fleur Solene, Paso Robles 1x75cl
Blend: 54% Syrah, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Grenache
Vintage production: 450 cases
Made by Guillaume Fabre for his wife and muse, Solène. One of her wishes for their Clos Solène portfolio was... for a wine that tastes great from the moment it is bottled and could age potentially for a decade: the Fleur de Solène!
Syrah, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon are selected from a handful of the top sites in Paso Roble's Westside, and masterfully blended by Guillaume. Aging is for 16 months in 30% new French oak of 225L & 400L barrels. The Cabernet Sauvignon fermented in concrete tanks.

2019 Crown Point, Relevant Cabernet Sauvignon, Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara 6x75cl
Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 5% Malbec
Vintage production: n/a
Santa Barbara County is the new frontier for West Coast Cabernet Sauvignon, with the cooling influence... of the Pacific Ocean brining a level of elegance and refinement that make the wines stand out. By far, the leading winery is Crown Point Vineyards in Happy Canyon at the most easterly part of the region. Here, another young and uber-talented talented French winemaker, Simon Faury, has made his home under the Californian sunshine, and is taking this remarkable Estate into the big leagues of Cabernet producers.
Crown Point's calling card wine is their sublime Relevant Cabernet Sauvignon. It paints the complete picture of the Estate with around 80% Cabernet Sauvignon complimented by 10% Merlot, and a splash each of Petit Verdot and Malbec. The classic 'Bordeaux blend'.
