Cabernet Sauvignon is synonymous with the Stags Leap District and has always been a mainstay
in the winemaking program at Stags' Leap Winery. The Leap is sourced from select Cabernet Sauvignon blocks within the Stags' Leap Winery estate vineyard. This singular expanse of earth tucked up against the eastern palisades of Napa Valley features thin, rocky soils in its upper reaches, giving way to finer-grained loamy soils at its floor. The heat-reflecting palisades, with their towering rocky crags, provide consistent warmth over the estate and help balance the cooling breezes from the south. This pronounced micro-climate is remarkably well-suited to growing Cabernet Sauvignon grapes of distinction.
WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS - "Offers a mix of sagebrush, sweet bay leaf, incense and dried violet aromatics that drape prettily over a core of cassis and gently mulled plum fruit. After a caressing feel at the start, this picks up graphite-edged grip on the sneaky long finish. Best from 2024 through 2036. Tasted twice, with consistent notes."

Very nice Cabernet
Easy to drink alone or with food. Bold fruit flavor goes well with salmon and beef. Finishes well and will get better with additional cellaring
