Family/name story

The name comes from the Stags Leap area rather than a family name; the estate is tied to Napa's modern Cabernet identity.

House focus

Pursues Cabernet with power, polish, and enough elegance to feel measured rather than blunt.

History note

The winery became internationally famous after the 1976 Paris tasting helped prove that California Cabernet could stand with elite European wines.

What to try first

Start with an estate Cabernet lane if you want the core message.

Pairing lane

Grilled steak, short ribs, blue cheese, and roast mushrooms.
