About this product
The apex of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars — the estate's finest selection from SLV and FAY vineyards in the Stags Leap District. Warren Winiarski's vision of elegant, structured Napa Cabernet made famous at the 1976 Paris Tasting. Blackcurrant, dark cherry, cedar, tobacco, and graphite with the signature Stags Leap District purity and restraint. Requires 10-15 years to reach peak complexity. One of California's greatest age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignons.
