S.L.V. 2013 from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars layers deep blackcurrant and blueberry fruit with notes of peppery spice, dark chocolate and a touch of earthy savor. The palate is full-bodied yet polished, with mellow midpalate richness, finely structured tannins and a long, cocoa-tinged finish that shows both power and finesse.

S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon is Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars’ original, estate-grown Cabernet from the historic Stag’s Leap Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Stags Leap District, the site that produced the 1973 Cabernet which famously won the 1976 Judgment of Paris. Planted in 1970 on predominantly volcanic, well-drained soils, S.L.V. typically yields a structured, ageworthy Cabernet Sauvignon noted for its concentrated dark fruit, spicy intensity, minerality, and elegant tannins, and is considered one of the winery’s benchmark single-vineyard wines.
