Description
Still white Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley, produced by Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, 2023 vintage. A wine that embodies the excellence of Napa Valley, with a history dating back to 1970. It is bright, crisp, and refreshing with aromatic notes of white peach, lemon verbena, lime zest, and white elderflower on the nose. Subtle notes of toasted brioche and biscuit crumb support the lively fruit (a nod to the subtle oak influence) along with a delicate minerality. A Sauvignon Blanc distinguished by its elegance and complexity.

This historic winery was made famous in 1976, the year of the "Judgment of Paris", a blind winetasting that was conducted in Paris with a panel of 9 French tasters who tasted samples of California’s best Cabernet and Chardonnay and matched them against some of the finest labels from Bordeaux and Burgandy. Despite pessimistic predictions, due to the fact that Californian wines were only considered an interesting "novelty" in the world of wine, they were declared the winners. First place was assigned to S.L.V. 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon from Stag’s Leap, a phenomenon that created an upheaval in the world’s viticultural circles.
The Antinori family had been a managing partner since 2007 while in 2023, they acquired the entire Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars estate to preserve and continue to pursue the extraordinary legacy of this unique winery. Read more
