Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, S.L.V. other_regions_italy Light to medium-bodiedThe 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon S. L. V. is a paragon of elegance and finesse, yet doesn't cheat the taster on flavor. Dense ruby purple with round, juicy, earthy black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, underbrush and forest floor, the wine is fragrant, medium to full bodied, soft, seductive and round. This is a lovely, juicy, pure style of wine to drink over the next 10 15 years.
