Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars was founded in 1970 by Warren Winiarski and is arguably one of the most important California wineries having won the Cabernet Sauvignon competition at the famous 1976 Judgement of Paris. Cask 23 was first produced in 1974 after consultant winemaker, Andre Tchelistcheff, declared that one particular cask was so beautiful and distinct that it merited a separate bottling. The 1991 is one of the finest ever releases of this wine and is still drinking beautifully.
