Description

Why Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars? Simply put, because they compete with the greatest wines in the world. I’ve been at many tastings and dinners that have proven this out. In 2000 I was at a tasting of over forty wines considered to be the greatest wines made in Napa Valley before 1985. Two of the top three were Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars CASK 23 – the 1985 vintage was 1st and 1978 was tied for 3rd. Tom Black.

I am chagrined to admit that the only Cask 23 (their flagship wine) I own is the legendary 1985. Spurred by Robert Parker's glowing review, I paid more for this wine on release than any other wine in my collection at that time. In fact, to this day I doubt I have more than two or three items with a higher tariff. I finally opened my first bottle about four years ago, and it was clearly the most evocative wine tasting experience of my life.
It was around the Christmas holidays, and I brought the bottle to one of my favorite restaurants. It was the perfect combination of factors: a table for two near the fireplace, my closest companion, wonderful food - all wrapped up in Holiday spirit. I recall pouring the first tastes, then swirling, sniffing and tasting. Suddenly, I was overcome with emotion and tears welled up in my eyes and ran down my cheeks. It was the only time that a wine has moved me to that degree, and made the purchase price seem like a bargain. Califusa
