Sometimes the best choice is one that’s so familiar that you might forget it’s even there, but these top scoring Stags’ Leap Winery selections deserve the full attention of Napa wine lovers seeking outstanding value, a range of seriously delicious white and red wines from prime Napa terroir available at bargain pricing whether choosing a few favorites or mixing a case.
Among the oldest growers in the Stags Leap District, the 240-acre property Stags’ Leap Winery on the Silverado Trail has been continuously planted with vines since the late 1800’s, the once abandoned estate undergoing a lengthy renovation beginning in the 1970’s and becoming part of Treasury Wine Estates in 2011. Reflecting the cooling maritime influence of the nearby Pacific, the refined 93 pt. 2022 Stags’ Leap Winery Chardonnay is “outstanding” according to Jeb Dunnuck, sourced mostly from Carneros and southern Napa AVA’s and aged in only 25% new French oak to allow its crisp citrus and green apple flavors and refreshing mineral-tinged acidity to take center stage. Showing “impressive freshness” according to James Suckling, the full-flavored 92 pt. 2022 Stags' Leap Winery Sauvignon Blanc was sourced primarily from the Gamble Ranch vineyard in the Oakville AVA, revealing aromatic bright fruit with flinty minerality and subtle notes of brioche from partial oak aging on a racy, tangy finish. Aged in 27% new French oak for 20 months, the estate's full-bodied, benchmark 93 pt. 2020 Stags' Leap Winery Cabernet Sauvignon boasts juicy spiced dark fruit sourced from cooler areas of Napa Valley including the Stags Leap AVA with “silky tannins and a flavorful finish” according to James Suckling, ready for Napa Cab lovers to enjoy over the next decade. \
More than a nostalgic reminder of the days when great Napa wines didn’t have to cost an arm and a leg, these high-scoring Stags’ Leap Winery selections deliver the goods, all well-crafted, delicious wines reasonably priced for stocking up to enjoy anytime a taste of Napa calls. |
