S.L.V., also known as Stag’s Leap Vineyards, is the winery’s first vineyard. Planted in 1970, this vineyard achieved international fame when three-year old vines from the 1973 harvest produced a wine that stunned the wine world when it bested some of France’s greatest wines, in a 1976 blind tasting known as the “Judgment of Paris.”.
Today, this history-making vineyard continues to produce wines with layers of complexity, spicy intensity and excellent structure, promising long life and age-ability.
1995 was the first vintage that Associate Winemaker Michael Silacci (Opus one, Shafer) began helping to make the wines at Stag’s Leap. A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Merlot, the wine presents notes of black-current and cassis with leather and cigar box complexity. Followed by gentle tannins with stewed berries and earthy maturity
