Stag's Leap Wine Cellars S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is een single-vineyard cabernet uit het historische hart van Stags Leap District, afkomstig van het perceel dat in 1976 wereldberoemd werd tijdens de “Judgment of Paris”. De S.L.V.-wijngaard werd in 1970 aangeplant en bewees met de jaargang 1973 dat Napa het kon opnemen tegen de grote Bordeaux-châteaux. Wat maakt S.L.V. 2019 zo bijzonder? Het is een 100% estate cabernet die de vulkanische ziel van dit perceel laat spreken, met gelaagde donkere fruitaroma’s, grafietachtige mineraliteit en een structuur die gebouwd is op lange ontwikkeling in de kelder.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven voor deze S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 komen volledig van de eigen S.L.V.-wijngaard in Stags Leap District, Napa Valley. Dit was de eerste wijngaard van Stag's Leap Wine Cellars en is sinds 1970 continu in gebruik, met blokken die geleidelijk zijn herbeplant om de kwaliteit op topniveau te houden. Voor de 2019-blend vormen vooral de blokken 2A, 3A, 1A, 3B en Block 4 (de “grande dame” uit 1972) de kern. Aan de oostkant van de wijngaard domineren vuur- en lavagesteente in de bodem, wat zorgt voor structuur, uitgesproken mineraliteit en geconcentreerd donker fruit met rijpe, elegante tannines. De westelijke delen hebben meer alluviale bodems, die juist vibrante fruitaccenten en aromatische lift toevoegen. Zo ontstaat een cabernet die tegelijk krachtig en verfijnd is, met een duidelijke Stags Leap-handtekening.

Vinificatie en rijping

De oogst voor S.L.V. 2019 vond plaats tussen 8 en 21 oktober, na een groeiseizoen met een nat voorjaar, een koel begin en vervolgens bijna ideale zomerse omstandigheden die zorgden voor een lange, gelijkmatige rijping. Elke perceel en elk blok werd afzonderlijk geoogst en vergist in roestvrijstalen tanks, zodat de eigen karakteristieken van de verschillende delen van de wijngaard behouden bleven. De malolactische omzetting was volledig, wat de textuur verzacht en de wijn extra rondheid geeft. Vervolgens rijpt de wijn 21 maanden in kleine Franse eikenhouten vaten, 100% nieuw, waarbij de verschillende lots apart blijven totdat ze aan het einde van de rijping zorgvuldig worden geblend. Winemaker Marcus Notaro selecteerde de vaten specifiek op houtsoort en toastniveau om de typische tonen van grafiet, donker fruit en cacao van S.L.V. te versterken zonder het fruit te overheersen. Het alcoholpercentage ligt rond 14,5%, met voldoende zuren om de wijn fris en spanningsvol te houden.

Druivensamenstelling

Cabernet Sauvignon – S.L.V. vineyard, Stags Leap District
S.L.V. 2019 is 100% cabernet sauvignon van de eigen estate-wijngaard. De combinatie van vulkanische en alluviale bodems, oude blokken zoals Block 4 en de relatief koele ligging binnen Napa geeft een cabernet met zwarte bes, pruim en vijg, ondersteund door grafiet, cacaopoeder en een duidelijk aanwezige maar verfijnde tanninestructuur.

Proefnotities en serveertips

In het glas toont de 2019 S.L.V. een diepe, donkere robijnrode kleur. In de neus vind je genereuze aroma’s van zwarte bes, pruim en gekonfijte vijg, aangevuld met tonen van cacaopoeder, grafiet en een vleugje violet. In de mond heeft de wijn dichte maar gepolijste tannines die samensmelten met lagen van donker fruit, vijg en florale nuances, terwijl de minerale ondertoon voor extra spanning en lengte zorgt. De structuur, het donkere fruit en de mineraliteit wijzen duidelijk op een groot bewaarpotentieel: deze jaargang is nu al indrukwekkend maar zal zich over de komende 10 tot 20 jaar verder ontwikkelen. Schenk S.L.V. 2019 idealiter rond 16 tot 18 °C en geef de wijn in zijn jeugd gerust een uur in de karaf. Aan tafel is hij een perfecte partner voor klassiekers als Steak Diane, gegrilde bavette met chimichurri, confit de canard met geroosterde vijgen en polenta of rijk gevulde paddenstoelenravioli met een kruidige tomaten- of vleessaus.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.
