Digging Deeper

The Rhythm of the Vineyard

At Cliff Lede Vineyards, we recognize that rhythm is essential to life and can be found in everything from poetry and music to grape growing and winemaking. From bud-break to harvest, and from fermentation to blending, each vintage carries a unique, but familiar, cadence.

Join us for an educational session that explores the natural rhythms that energize our vineyards and influence our wines. Gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to grow world-class wine grapes and be amongst the first to sample a brand new Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate vineyards.

Petite Sirah Deep Dive

The "Petite" in the name of this varietal could be a very misleading adjective.

When it comes to color, tannin structure and flavor concentration, there is nothing "Petite" about Petite Sirah. The Petite in the name refers to the size of its berries, creating a high skin to juice ratio that leads to intense concentration of color, tannins, and flavors.

From the early 1900's, Stagss Leap Winery has been a Napa Valley leader in the farming and crafting of the most coveted Petite Sirah wines worldwide.

Join Stags' Leap Winery GM and Senior Winemaker Ludovic Dervin for a deep dive into the history of Petite Sirah, showcasing and tasting how Stags Leap District Petite Sirah can evolve through time.
