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."
"An amazing Cabernet Sauvignon as you would expect from Stags Leap. Big, dark and dense with a gorgeous core of blackberry, plum, cassis and cherry flavors that roll through with power giving way to solid tannins followed by a long, polished finish." The Wine Buyer, 97 Points
