Y. Rousseau 2015 Le Roi Soleil Cabernet Sauvignon, Stagecoach Vineyard, Napa Valley, USA
Named after the Sun King, Louis XIV, this wine makes the Stagecoach Vineyard the Versailles of Napa Valley. With its noteworthy reputation and high elevation, the site proves itself as terroir royalty. Graphite and a savory animale tone on the nose give way to plum and saddle-leather aromas. This big, outgoing red possesses black fruit fueled with inky, teeth-gripping tannins reminiscent of espresso beans. 95
