92 Points - Ilsley Vineyards 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
This is the kind of wine the late, great Andre Tchelistcheff described as an iron fist in a velvet glove. The glove is the lush, forward blackberry currant and cocoa flavors, the smooth texture and the seductively sweet new oak. The fist is the sheer power. This is an important addition to the pantheon of Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, and one that needs some time in the cellar.

93 Points - Ilsley Vineyards 2004 Seis Primas
An unusual blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Melbec, with a splash of Merlot, this is a beautiful wine. It’s also a young one, brimming with tight, youthful tannins that give it a lockdown astringency. But the cassis, cherry liqueur and cedar flavors are impressively deep and complex, and should ride out six to eight years of cellaring.

Ilsley Vineyards, 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District, Napa Valley
“Generously fruited and fit with lots of sweet oak, this well-filled and comparatively juicy young Cabernet is opening nicely and is easy to taste in spite of its nominal tannins. It flirts at the finish with a clear suggestion of heat, but it makes no serious sacrifice to ripeness and is governed first and last by its attractive, always varietal curranty fruit.”
