Our 2018 The Leap Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies the distinctive personality of our estate
vineyard, offering dark, alluring, layered intensity with notes of black berry fruit alongside a rich, mouth-enveloping texture. It offers aromas and flavors of blackcurrant, cassis, dark raspberry, and black cherry alongside cedar, allspice, graphite, espresso, olive tapenade, and chaparral herbs. Depth, finesse, and elegance are interwoven with power, grace, and structure, full of velvety rich tannins and a long, lingering fresh finish. Drinking beautifully now but exhibits the opulence and structure of the estate that allows this Cabernet to age for many years to come

“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap is blended of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it starts off a little closed and broody, giving way to notes of plum preserves, blackcurrant cordial and chocolate-covered cherries, plus hints of unsmoked cigars and black truffles. Medium-bodied, elegant and refreshing, it has lots of tightly wound black fruit and earthy layers with a firm, fine-grained frame and long mineral-laced finish.” - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, November 30, 2021

“Christophe Paubert tends 85 acres of vines directly under the Stags’ Leap escarpment, selecting this wine from lots he finds to be the most expressive of the site. This vintage has the particular kind of stinky reduction of a wine grown in rocky volcanic soils, opening with air to boysenberry flavors, forest blackberry and violet notes. The reduction points up the wine’s energy even as it grows more elastic, driving through hard tannins to last on a long, savory fruit finish.” - Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits, December 2021
