Wineries

The signature varietal of the Stags Leap District is Cabernet Sauvignon—notable for its distinctive combination of power and elegance.

Ninety percent of the district is planted to Bordeaux varietals, with 80% planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. There are also small amounts of Petite Sirah and Sangiovese.

 

Crafting Excellence

 

“Ultimately, of course, it is human intervention that turns a landscape into a vinescape. Selection of plant material, methods of cultivation and, perhaps most important, timing of the harvest have everything to do with how the land is expressed in wines.”
