Stag's Leap Cellars Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon

The Polish surname of the founder of Stag's Leap Cellars, Warren Winiarski, translates to 'son of the winemaker.' However, Warren did not plan to become a winemaker. He was interested in the humanities and studied at the University of Chicago. But fate had other plans. In 1964, Warren and his wife Barbara moved to California, joining a new wave of pioneers arriving in the valley. For the next few years, Warren gained practical experience in winemaking, first as an apprentice to Lee Stewart at Souverain Cellars, and then as an assistant at the newly established Robert Mondavi Winery. After his training, Warren Winiarski began searching for land capable of producing grapes for wines of classic proportions and balance, and in 1970 his search was successful. Two years later, Winiarski purchased a nearby winery. Thus, Stag's Leap Cellars was born. Now, the vibrant and harmonious wines of Stag's Leap Cellars, despite the youth of the winery, have gained popularity worldwide. The vineyards are located on diverse soils, allowing for the production of wines with individual and unique characters.
