Process & Profile

The 2022 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the historic Stag’s Leap Vineyard, planted on volcanic soils known for producing structured, mineral-driven Cabernet. The vintage was defined by extreme conditions, including early frost and an intense September heatwave, which resulted in smaller berries and concentrated fruit. After fermentation, the wine matured for 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels, developing depth, tannic precision, and long-term cellaring potential.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Blackcurrant, plum, violets, graphite, and dark chocolate.
Palate: Concentrated black fruit, mocha, espresso, savory mineral tones, and firm tannins.
Finish: Long and powerful with graphite, dark cocoa, and a fine mineral edge.

What Makes It Special

• From the historic S.L.V. vineyard, central to the Judgment of Paris legacy.

• Volcanic soils deliver signature minerality and structure.

• A challenging vintage produced low yields with exceptional concentration.

• Matured 20 months in 100% new French oak for added complexity.

• Long aging potential while still showing richness and depth today.

How to Enjoy

Serve at 60–65°F in a large Bordeaux glass to open its aromatics. Decant for at least 30–45 minutes when drinking young to soften the tannins and expand the dark-fruit character. Pair with ribeye, lamb chops, truffle risotto, or dishes featuring roasted mushrooms. The structure and minerality make it ideal for cellaring over the next decade or more.
