Wednesday, October 7th, we explore the legendary wines of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, whose 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon famously took top honors at the 1976 Judgment of Paris, a historic blind tasting that helped establish Napa Valley among the world’s great wine regions.

The estate benefits from warm days, cooling afternoon breezes, and a mix of volcanic and alluvial soils. These distinctive growing conditions help create Cabernet Sauvignon with concentrated fruit, aromatic complexity, refined tannins, and the balance for which the region has become known.

Today, they pair this exceptional terroir with regenerative organic farming practices, including cover crops, sheep grazing, soil-microbiology programs, and integrated pest management without herbicides. The result is the signature Stags Leap balance of power and grace: richly concentrated wines with perfume, freshness, refined tannins, and remarkable aging potential.
