Considered as one of the 'First Growths' in Napa Valley, the 'Hands of Time' Red Blend is an affordable choice from the world-renowned Stag's Leap winery. A sumptuous texture giving cool, menthol-laced blue and black fruit flavours - blueberries, plums and blackcurrants alongside floral touches of violets. It's deep, dark and brooding but not at all heavy. Long length and mouth coating tannins. This deserves a meat-heavy meal, steak or roast beef.  About the ProducerStag’s Leap Wine Cellars, not

Beautiful blackcurrant, floral-infused fruit jumps from the glass of this dense ruby/purple wine. There are some loamy underpinnings of soil, but the wine is medium to full-bodied, beautifully fruited, with great texture, and terrific purity and personality. This is a serious and beautiful wine to drink over the next 20-25 years, if not longer." Wine Press 95 Points -
