For Christophe Paubert, Winemaker and General Manager at Stags’ Leap Winery, the identity of a wine is found through the terroir. Christophe’s career has spanned the industry from sales to winemaking, and his impressive background includes positions at Chateau d’Yquem and Gruaud-Larose as well as projects in Chile, Spain and Washington State. But it was the terroir of Stags’ Leap that drew him to California.

“Beautiful aromas of currants and crushed strawberries with flowers and cedar. Incense, too. Full-bodied with firm, well poised tannins that show tension and form. Long, flavorful finish.” - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

“The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap is composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec and was aged for 20 months in French oak, 60% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it delivers wonderfully opulent scents of Christmas cake, baked plums and Morello cherries with hints of Black Forest cake, Indian spices and cigar box plus a waft of potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with spicy black fruit preserves layers, supported with tons of freshness and tightly knit, finely grained tannins, finishing long and fragrant. 3,365 cases were made.” - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate

“Crunchy blackberry and blueberry flavors completely infuse this wine’s tannins, lending refinement to the dark-roast-coffee scents that meld oak with the dark fruit-skin savor of Stags Leap District cabernet. Christophe Paubert ages the lots from his estate parcels separately, giving them 20 months in French oak barrels (60 percent new), then blends this wine from those he considers the most expressive. His 2017 is potent and built to last.” - Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits, December 2020
