Napa's neighborhood for world-class reds, the Stags Leap District attracts some of the best in California including: Chimney Rock, Shafer, Quixote, and Clos du Val. Vineyards here date back to the mid-1800s when the Silverado Trail was just a quiet horse path. Cabernet Sauvignon became Napa's star during the 1976 Judgment of Paris, when Stags Leap took first place over the French First Growth Bordeaux's Mouton-Rothschild and Haut Brion. The staggering impact of the "win" was reinforced ten years later when the same wines were tasted a second time. The winner was a Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, 1972 Clos Du Val. As Karen MacNeil says "when you taste a Stags Leap District wine, you understand what all the fuss is about." This Cabernet Sauvignon is all about textural hedonism, softness and intensity!
"Ripe, firm and ultrarich. A terroir-driven beauty gushing with dark fruit flavors of plum, blackberry, cassis and currant. Full-bodied and layered, this gorgeous wine picks up coffee, chocolate, anise and a hint of eucalyptus followed by a strong finish that goes on and on!" The WIne Buyer, 96 Points
