CASK 23 is a tale of two vineyards that come together in a harmonious blend. Vines planted in volcanic soils on the eastern hillsides of S.L.V. and FAY give CASK 23 its structure, concentration, spicy intensity and elegant tannins; those grown in the alluvial soils in the middle and lower sections of the two vineyards add vibrant fruit flavors, a supple mid-palate and perfumed aromatics. CASK 23 is a tale of two vineyards that come together in a harmonious blend. Fifty-four percent of the fruit for this blend is from FAY Vineyard (blocks 8C2, 7B, 8C1, 9, 10A) and 46% from S.L.V. (blocks 3B, 2B, 1A). Specific blocks within these adjoining ranches provide distinct attributes to the wine.

Our Stag's Leap Wine Cellars CASK 23 Cabernet Sauvignon combines the signature perfume notes of FAY vineyard with the structure and dark fruit of S.L.V. The wine opens with complex and expressive aromas of dark fruits, currants and figs along with hints of floral spice, sandalwood and wet stone. The wine has a vibrant taste and texture with the winery’s classic “Peacock’s Tail” that expands in the mouth and leads to a lingering aftertaste and finish.
