“Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars produces wines that embody ‘an iron fist in a velvet glove,’ achieving the artful balance between ripeness and restraint, softness and structure”-- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

在 Stag's Leap 林蔭步道，有一排的石灰岩牌匾，每一個都打上手印，手印就是向一直以來為酒莊多年來貢獻的人致敬，當中很多已成為獨當一面的釀酒師和葡萄農。

黑加侖子、藍莓乾、紫羅蘭、墨水、石墨、乾葉和雪茄盒的香氣。酒體飽滿，單寧堅實光滑。柔順細滑，具有出色的平衡和餘韻。2023年開始是適飲期。

深色的石榴紅和紫色。散發著黑覆盆子、紅加侖子啫喱和新鮮黑莓的香氣，還有乾薄荷、潮濕土壤和碎石的味道。酒體中等至飽滿，超級豐富多汁的黑莓和紅莓風味，清新爽口，單寧強勁，顆粒感十足，餘味帶有泥土氣息。
Considered one of the "first growths" of Napa Valley, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars produces renowned Cabernet Sauvignon from its historic Stags Leap District estate vineyards. Founded in 1970, the winery brought international recognition to California winemaking and the Napa Valley when the 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon won the now famous 1976 Paris Tasting (Judgement of Paris).
Along a shady walkway on the tranquil grounds of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars one comes across a succession of limestone plaques, each bearing a handprint. These handprints comprise the Hands of Time exhibit, an enduring tribute to some of the many people who contributed to the winery's history over the years and have gone on to become celebrated winemakers and viticulturalists in their own right.

Cassis, dried blueberries, violets, ink, graphite, dried leaves and cigar box on the nose. Full-bodied with firm, polished tannins. Smooth and supple with excellent balance and length. Drink from 2023.
(Robert Parker's rating: 90 points)
Deep garnet-purple in color, it springs forth with notes of black raspberries, redcurrant jelly and fresh blackberries, plus hints of dried mint, damp soil and crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate gives up tons of juicy black and red berry flavors with great freshness and sturdy, grainy tannins, finishing earthy.
