Winemaker Notes
A brambly aroma is laced generously with full ripe berry perfume. Ripe blackberry flavors are concentrated with gripping tannins that evolve on wings of vanilla. Fruit flavors echo gently on the palate. Pair this wine with roast pork tenderloin served in a dried cherry beef reduction or grilled portobello atop polenta seasoned with stilton.

History of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars
Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars was founded in 1970 with the purchase of a 40 acre property in the now famed Stag’s Leap District AVA in Napa Valley. The winery brought international recognition to California winemaking and the Napa Valley region when their 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon won the 1976 Paris Tasting, also known as the "Judgement of Paris."
Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Estate-Grown Cabernet Sauvignon
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars' three estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignons - CASK 23, S.L.V. and Fay - are among the most highly regarded and collected Cabernet Sauvignons worldwide. The Cabernet wines are fashioned to express richness balanced by elegant restraint, an approach often described as "an iron fist in a velvet glove."
