A compelling bouquet of complexity and depth, with aromas of ripe currants, blackberry compote, and dark plums layered over notes of dried herbs, figs, and a touch of tobacco. The palate is structured and flavorful, yet marked by a refined, savory texture. Elegant and expressive, it dances across the tongue with vibrant flavors of currants, black fruits, and delicate floral nuances. Polished tannins provide a silky framework, culminating in a long, graceful finish that exudes both power and finesse.

The story of CASK 23 began during the 1974 harvest when the winery enlisted the help of renowned winemaker André Tchelistcheff. As he sampled various lots of new wines from that year, he discovered one particularly beautiful and distinct lot from the S.L.V. vineyard. Impressed by its quality, the winery decided to bottle it separately. Today, CASK 23 is created by blending exceptional fruit from both the S.L.V. and FAY vineyards

CASK 23 is a story of two legendary vineyards—S.L.V. and FAY—that come together to create a complex yet harmonious blend. S.L.V., the winery’s first vineyard, made waves in the wine world when it won the "Judgment of Paris" in 1976. Meanwhile, FAY is notable for being the site where Cabernet Sauvignon was first planted in the Stags Leap District in 1961. These vineyards continue to produce exceptional fruit, which winemaker Marcus Notaro skillfully combines into a wine that keeps you returning to the glass sip after sip.

Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars’ remarkable portfolio represents the pinnacle of Napa Valley wines, with classic characteristics and astonishing caliber. Winemaker Marcus Notaro and his team handcraft wines that reflect the land on which the grapes are grown and stylistically honor the terroir that bestows them a balance of richness and elegance, softness and structure.
