Score 89/100 · Drink 2007-2016, Robert Parker, Feb 2005
Structured, tannic, and broodingly backward, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap offers attractive but tight aromas of loamy soil, cassis, creosote, and flowers. This impressively endowed, muscular, tannic effort displays a Bordeaux-like austerity, but there is plenty of underlying fruit and concentration. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2016. Tel. (707) 255-4269

Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2004
Saturated ruby-red. Roasted plum, mocha and chocolate liqueur on the inviting nose. Sweet and lush in the mouth, with very ripe, mellow flavors of currant, cherry, tar and melting chocolate. This has the fat of a topnotch merlot. Long finish features substantial but thoroughly sweet tannins.
