Stags' Leap Cabernet Sauvignon Chateau Petit Village Chapoutier Ermitage “L’Ermite” Rouge Bio2021 JS 93 A lovely deep saturated ruby color, this Cabernet opens with a vibrant nose of black raspberry, blackcurrant and blackberry preserves alongside delicate hints of violet. On the palate, ripe dark plum, black cherry, classic redcurrant and hibiscus flower support savory Chaparral sagebrush notes of lavender and Bay Laurel, while the fruit remains bright and boisterous, enveloping the mouth with a medium to full body and lip smacking appeal.
