"Napa Valley at its Finest" is a bold claim considering some of the other top-notch brands we have in store for you today, but that’s exactly what Stags' Leap is all about. Bold, distinct, and carefully cultivated, this brand’s selection of wines comes from their vast 83-acre estate that perfectly accommodates each grape variety used.
"Of particular note are the Ne Cede Malis block and their heritage vines. Ne cede malis, or yield not to misfortunes, is a quote from the Roman poet Virgil about overcoming adversity and any obstacles you may face. Stags' Leap dedicates this particular block of land to testing and creating new types of vines, a feat that presents its own set of challenges.
Stags' Leap has also been working with UC Davis by DNA testing their heritage vines to help uncover the origin of the Petite Sirah variety. Helping to research and preserve these heritage vines has also produced fruitful results for the brand, as they’re able to generously provide a taste of the Stag’s Leap legacy from its start in the 19th century.
All in all, Stags' Leap is committed to equal parts preserving the past and pushing forward and innovating, which, as it turns out, is an award-winning combination.
