Stags Leap Cask 23 2010

HED30698 75cl 14.5%
Stags Leap Cask 23 2010 is a mature, full-bodied red wine produced from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in the Napa Valley of California. Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars was founded in 1970 by Warren Winiarski and is one of the most important California wineries, famously having won the Cabernet Sauvignon competition at the seminal 1976 Judgement of Paris. Cask 23 was first produced in 1974 after consultant winemaker, Andre Tchelistcheff, declared that one particular cask was so beautiful and distinct that it merited a separate bottling. "Lively, nuanced scents of black raspberry, licoricey, mocha, coffee, tobacco and soil, lifted by a subtle floral top note. Suave, fine-grained and silky but penetrating too, with subtly complex tobacco leaf and herb nuances accenting the flavours of red and black fruits, licoricey and cedar. Lovely inner-mouth energy and lift here; nothing heavy or sweet about this wine. Finishes with very smooth tannins and subtle floral/earthy persistence and lift. This very subtle, laid-back wine is at the beginning of its peak drinking plane. Really dances on the palate." Vinous, 2020

Stag`s Leap Wine Cellars

Not to be confused with the Stag's Leap Winery, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars has founded by Warren Winiarski in 1972, who left his job at Robert Mondavi to setup his own winery in Napa. The winery achieved cult status when the 1973 vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon won first place, above the finest red wines of Bordeaux at Stephen Spurrier's famous "Judgement of Paris" tasting in 1976.

The winery now make a range of wines including a Chardonnay, a Merlot, a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon called Fay and Cask 23 - the winery's flagship blend that is only made in selected vintages. These are classic wines with just a hint of Californian excess - fruit character is ripe, but not over the top and the tannins are firm and fine grained on the Cabernet Sauvignons while Karia Chardonnay is tropical and full, seeing a hint of new oak during the maturation.
