Stags Leap District

With a focus on plush Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines, Stags Leap is one of Napa Valley's most celebrated districts. Often referred to as a "valley within a valley," the Stags Leap terroir provides the perfect conditions for red grape growing. Reflective heat from the Stags Leap Palisades rock formations combines with cooling breezes off San Pablo Bay to develop fruit-forward wine with abundant elegance. Cabernet Sauvignon from this tiny AVA is especially well loved. It is set apart from other Napa Cabs thanks to its lush sour cherry and blackberry flavors, complemented beautifully by soft, ripe tannins.
