Blog 56 Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars
Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars is most known for winning the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976 with their Cabernet Sauvignon. They are located in the famous Stags Leap District in Napa, California. Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars offers a Napa Valley Collection Tasting Flight for $15 per person.
They offer a 2007 Sauvignon Blanc with flavors and aromas including grapefruit and lemonlime, peach and nectarine, tropical notes of guava and mango with a hint of fresh-cut grass.
The 2007 Karia Chardonnay made with about 15-20% oak with apple, white peach and orange blossom with subtle layers of roasted almond and vanilla cream.
The 2006 Merlot is aromatic with fruit notes of cherry, pomegranate, plum and strawberry laced with spicy accents of vanilla and cinnamon.
My favorite was the 2006 Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine has aromas and flavors of black fruit such as blackberry, currant and plum with layers of nutmeg, rosemary and a warm pie crust.
Tell me what you think! I want to hear from you! Give me your thoughts!
Bon Vin!
