Depth and poise define the 2016 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon, with vivid layers of blackcurrant, plum and black cherry wrapped in polished, gravelly tannins. Notes of dark chocolate, dried lavender, grilled herbs and warm spice give the wine a refined, savory edge, while a long, resonant finish hints at forest floor and graphite, signaling serious structure and longevity. This is an ageworthy, benchmark vintage that balances richness with impressive freshness and detail.

CASK 23 Cabernet Sauvignon is Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars’ iconic flagship Napa Valley Cabernet, first created in 1974 when a singularly distinctive lot from the S.L.V. vineyard was set aside and aged in a large wooden cask numbered 23. Today it is typically a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon blend of the most exceptional fruit from the estate’s S.L.V. and FAY vineyards in the Stags Leap District, known for combining great depth, richness, and ageworthy structure with the house’s signature “iron fist in a velvet glove” elegance.
