Tasting Notes:

The 2003 Quixote Cabernet is an elegant, ruby-hued, full-bodied wine rich with spice notes and black fruit tones and hints of earth. It reflects a vintage Stags Leap effort with its soft mouth-feel and supple texture and has outstanding length and richness. The wine is a blend of 95 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 5 percent Merlot; soft enough to drink now, but with the structure for a few more years in the bottle.
