Stags Leap Cask 23 Magnum 1979

HED91799 150cl 13%
Established in 1970, Stag`s Leap gained international fame when its 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon won first place in the 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting, a historic event that revolutionized the perception of California wines. This beautifully aged Cabernet Sauvignon reveals aromas of dried blackcurrants, leather and a touch of forest floor. The palate offers a harmonious blend of dark fruit, truffle and a hint of cigar box, framed by well-integrated tannins and a subtle, earthy finish. The 1979 Cask 23 is a true testament to Stag`s Leap`s rich heritage in crafting exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon.

Stag`s Leap Wine Cellars

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.
