Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 glides across the palate with layered cassis, ripe plum and black cherry, framed by supple tannins and discreet, polished oak. Hints of dark chocolate, sweet tobacco and a gentle mineral edge add complexity, while the texture stays remarkably silky and composed from first sip through the long, graceful finish. This vintage balances generosity and finesse in a way that promises both early pleasure and impressive longevity.

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.
