The 2017 St. Huberts The Stag Cabernet Sauvignon offers rich layers of lush fruit and silky, well-integrated tannins. The mid-palate is juicy with blue fruit, mocha and spice flavors. The wine is supported, not dominated by oak - adding toasty sweet notes and offering supple, graceful and balanced texture. This wine is restrained with excellent structure and acidity and a long and flavorful finish. Blueberry, brown sugar, sweet-fruit, plum and blackberry aromas persist with hints of dark chocolate, elderberry and nutmeg characters. Packed with exuberant and youthful black, red and blue fruit, complemented by notes of stewed capsicum, pepper and spice. Medium-bodied with subtly layered fruit. The luxuriant palate is vibrant, even, lush and silky. Black currant, vanilla, and pronounced tannins persist through the finish. Plenty of mid-palate richness, intensity and depth. Intense blueberry/ mocha/cocoa notes. Full, ripe, balanced with powerful dark fruit/dark chocolate flavors and underlying savory oak. Supple and graceful, with balanced texture, excellent structure and weight. Finishes firm and long.
