Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
Founded in 1970 by Warren Winiarski, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars is a legendary Napa Valley estate. It gained worldwide fame when its 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon won first place in the historic 1976 Judgment of Paris, defeating top French Bordeaux in a blind tasting by French judges — a result that fundamentally changed the global perception of California wines and was described by Decanter as 'a victory that put California on the winemaking map.' The winery is renowned for elegant, structured, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignons from its historic S.L.V. and Fay vineyards. Today, it continues to set the standard for excellence in the Stags Leap District, combining traditional winemaking with modern precision to produce wines of remarkable complexity and finesse.
