Stags Leap Cellars is a renowned Napa Valley producer, famous for its role in the, now legendary, 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting which put California wines on the global map.

Cask 23 is a blend of fruit from the two flagship vineyards, SLV and Fay. The exact portion from each vineyard varies with each year.

2012 was a ‘textbook’ vintage in Napa, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, resulting in exceptional fruit.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon, fermented in steel, aged in French Oak (95% new) for 21 months. Producer note on the 2012 – “The 2012 CASK 23 combines the signature perfume notes of FAY vineyard with the structure and minerality of S.L.V. The wine opens with pleasing aromas of black cherry, dark plum, espresso and spice. The wine has a rich, ripe fruit entry that leads to a concentrated core of dark fruit (plum, black cherry, dried currant). The palate is expansive, coating the whole mouth with rich fruit, full and sweet tannins and lingering flavors mocha and black tea.”

91 Vinous
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon CASK 23 is the biggest and richest of these wines from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. Broad and expansive on the palate, the 2012 is quite pretty, but stops short of being truly exciting. Blue and black fruits, violets and sweet spices add nuance on the perfumed, generous finish.
