Steltzner

85 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '05 Steltner Cab offers a mix of spicy wild berry, cedar, sandalwood and dried berry flavors that are trim and focused, yet leave you hoping for more depth and complexity.

A wonderful Claret from the Stags Leap District; full bodied, intense cassis, black fruit flavors with just the right amount of tannins; one of the finest cab-based wines from Napa Valley.

Bright and fragrant aromas of green apple and lemon-lime; focused citrus fruits and hints of vanilla on the palate. Ripe with pretty good intensity on the finish.

86 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '06 Steltzner Merlot is juicy and fruit-forward, with black cherry and vanilla aromas and modest red currant and spice flavors; drink now.
