Caterwaul Regusci Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District 2021
16% OFF RETAIL!
The 2021 edition of this single-vineyard Cabernet from the Regusci site shows off the characteristic Stags Leap District blend of richness and minerality. It begins with a sanguine, slightly savory profile — think bay leaf, black olive, crushed stone — before yielding to floral violet notes and a deep core of dark blue and black fruits. On the palate, expect dark chocolate, incense, spice and a taut mineral backbone that gives it precision, while the acidity helps frame a finish that feels long and structured. Reviewers have called it full-bodied yet balanced, with plush tannins and a classy, slightly herbal-earthy undercurrent, suggesting this wine has the stuffing to age gracefully.
