The family and I were in Lake Placid, New York recently celebrating our Daughter’s 16th birthday. We decided to buy Wine on the trip instead of packing and transporting ours. If you haven’t expereinced buying wine outside of your native area, most of the time it’s a pain in the rear. You have to find the local wine/liqour store and hunt down your goto wines if there avaliable.
Of course our favorites were out of stock at the only store in town. So we picked a couple of bottles of The 2016 Stag Cabernet Sauvioun for about $22.00 dollars a bottle. The reviews looked pretty good, but as you know those can be hit or mis. We decided to gamble and roll the dice away.
So later that evening we popped the cork and poured a glass setting on Mirror Lake and here was our experience. See tasting card below and summary:

Tasting Notes
- Dark purple in color and is pretty sticky to the glass.
- Light, clean aromas of cherries and raspberries.
- Medium body / semi-dry wine with a soft mouthfeel.
- Good tasting wine, with balanced flavors of cherry, raspberry, light baking spice, and leather.
- Medium finish that is balanced through the entire experience.
Buy If You Like
A flavorful, well-balanced cabernet that is not overly fruity with some nice notes of Baking Spice and leather. Good choice for someone that likes an even tempered cabernet with a consistent experience in the structure and flavor profile. So that’s all for now you beautiful wine drinkers…till next!
Good wine that’s extremly well balanced with evenly paced notes of light berry fruits, leather, and baking spice.
I like this wine for its price point of $22 dollars. It is very safe drinking red wine; I wouldn’t buy it on a regular basis. But a pretty good, medium bold cabernet, that shouldn’t be overlooked as someone’s daily wine or single glass/bottle section at a restaurant.
