Stag’s Leap SLV Cabernet Sauvignon
For this wine the primary blocks were 2A, 3A, 1A, 1B, and Block 4 – the “grande dame” of the vineyard – which was planted in 1972. These vines along with blocks on the eastern side of S.L.V., characterized by their volcanic soils, give this wine its structure and sense of minerality along with concentrated dark fruit flavors and ripe, elegant tannins
