Lindstrom Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Stag's Leap District

This 95-Point Stags Leap District Cabernet is Napa power wrapped in velvet — rich in dark berries, cigar box spice, and hillside intensity. It's a wine for prime rib dinners, milestone moments, or the kind of night when only your best glassware will do. Tasting Notes: The nose opens with a rush of ripe, dark berry aromas (blackberry, boysenberry, and dark raspberry) layered with warm briar fruit, cedar, cigar tobacco, and a touch of anise. On the palate, the wine is bright yet deeply textured, showing dense black cherry and raspberry syrup flavors with a soft, mouth-coating richness. The finish is long and plush, with hints of dark chocolate and vanilla adding depth to the lingering berry notes.
