The Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend had its first vintage in 1972, and rose to rapid fame in 1976 when it beat out the likes of Mouton-Rothschild and Haut-Brion at the blind Judgement of Paris tasting that is widely credited with putting California's wine industry on the map. The estate consists of two adjoining vineyards in Napa: the Stag's Leap Vineyard (SLV) and the Fay vineyard in the Stags Leap AVA planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as a small portion of Petit Verdot. The SLV vineyard has volcanic soils and contributes spice and concentration to its grapes, whereas the Fay vineyard is predominantly alluvial and gives a more aromatic character. Stag's Leap's top wine is the Cask 23, a varietal Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stag's Leap Vineyard. This wine came about as the 1974 Stag's Leap Cabernet was being blended from different barrels. The winemaker came across a barrel so exceptional that it could not be placed into the blend. Instead, he bottled it on its own and named it Cask 23. Stag's Leap's other premium wines include the single vineyard expressions of SLV and Fay. Stag's Leap Wine Cellar is not to be confused with the nearby producer, Stags' Leap Winery. The two came to legal blows in the 1980s over the Stag's Leap title, but an agreement was reached over the careful placement of the apostrophe. Later, they would team up to fight the proposed Stags Leap District AVA, although that was also settled with the complete omission of the apostrophe from the appellation's name. In 2007, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, including the winery and the SLV and Fay vineyards, was sold for $185 million to Washington's Ste.
