In honour of the visitor it is burgers from the prime rib. Really good! Again, I am struck by how French they are in style and taste. Very concentrated wines with complex aromas. Both exhibit a high concentration with a lot of flavour and plenty of tannins. Then we go on to the 2009 Fay Cabernet Sauvignon (~75 €) and the 2009 SLV Cabernet Sauvignon (~100€). Stag’s Leap wine tasting, copyright Ulf Bengtsson The wine feels very French in style, something that was consistent in all Stag’s Leap’s red wines. Tight, not one ounce of stickiness, low sweetness. I find some cedar and tobacco, and a lot of bell pepper. First the 2010 Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon (40€). Delicious.Īfter these first three whites, we get to grips with the reds. This one was packed with fruit and almost on the verge of being perfumed… Very special and one of my favourites today.

Although I am a big fan of Californian and South African sauvignon blanc I thought this was a little tame and a little shy. I found the sauvignon blanc a little too impersonal. Here I was most charmed by the chardonnay.
We taste two more whites: their 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (about 20 €) and then a chardonnay, 2010 Karia Chardonnay (25€). The low acidity makes the wine a charmer, if perhaps not too complex. Very fresh, slightly sweet on the nose, a lot of apples. Michelle Cuvée Brut from Washington State (around 10 euro). We begin with a little bubbly, a NV Domaine Ste. Sander tells us a bit about the background and points out that Stag’s Leap is a cabernet sauvignon-based wine estate. Michelle’s European Manager Sander Vriend. On site in Stockholm to lead the tasting and to talk about Stag’s Leap, we have Ste. Since 2007 Stag’s Leap is part of the Ste Michelle Wine Estates.

It was even so that a wine from Stag’s Leap, the 1973 Stag’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, won it all. It was featured in “The Paris Tasting” 1976. Very nice! Stag’s Leap is, as you may know, one of the most legendary wines of California. We have lunch at Pubologi and a small tasting of their main range.
It’s Tuesday and Stag’s Leap is visiting Stockholm. Do they still? BKWine’s Ulf Bengtsson recently had the opportunity to verify if this is the case.
One of the first in California to make world class wines. Stag’s Leap is a legendary wine producer in California.
