About the Producer Stag's Leap

Located in Napa Valley, in California, Stag's Leap was founded in 1972 by Warren Winiarski before being sold to a joint venture made up of Marchesi Antinori (Italy) and Château Ste Michelle (USA). Its good reputation dates from the famous Judgement of Paris, when his Cabernet Sauvignon was classed as one of the very best of French and Californian wines blind tasted. An iconic wine!
