Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley comes mainly from declassified mountain fruit. It is made up of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, aged 20 months in 85% new French oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it features bombastic notes of black cherries, creme de cassis and warm plums with touches of cedar chest, pencil lead, menthol and forest floor. Full-bodied, firm and grainy, it has bold freshness and tons of black fruit layers, finishing on a spicy note. 5,000 cases made."

"Made by Anna Monticelli, the 2017 Stack House Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc. Coming 90% from mountain fruit and brought up in 85% new French oak, it's one of the best values in the vintage and has beautiful cassis, toasted spice, gravelly earth, and hints of graphite. It's beautifully done, medium to full-bodied, and textured, and drinks way above its price point. Anna commented that this was the finest vintage of this cuvée she’s made."
The Stack House Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with aromas of black currants, black cherries and black berries followed by layers of crushed rock, white chocolate, sweet spices and toasty oak on the expressive nose. The wine generously coats the palate with a round supple mouthfeel and is framed by graceful silky tannins. The wine dances on the palate showcasing an impressive and lasting finish. - Winery
