About the wine
The grapes for the Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon were sourced from a single vineyard east of Silverado Trail and just South of Stags Leap winery. Due to the way this vineyard is planted, we harvest the morning side and the afternoon side of the vines separately so as to bring in each berry at the peak of ripeness. Intense fruit flavors and complex tannins best characterize wines from this vineyard.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
A rich garnet purple in color, fresh and bright aromas of red currants, cranberry and ripe black cherries leap from the glass. Crushed black pepper, lavender and mushroom flavors are layered with blackberry and blueberry notes. This is a strong, full-bodied wine with bold and seamless tannins. The finish bright, complex and lingering.
About
As VOLUPTUOUS as the iconic Marilyn Monroe, these heavier whites are richer in texture, thanks to riper fruit and most also feature the added flavor complexity of new oak. Almost all of these opulent wines are quite dry and fermented in oak barrels, but a handful are lusciously sweet late-harvested dessert wines.
