Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon is the sublime meeting of the absolute best lots from the Stag's Leap Vineyard and the Fay Vineyard. The soaring, jubilant fruit character of Fay greets the nose, and is also evident in the mouth: providing succulence and opulence of texture. S.L.V.'s contribution is evident in the deep, dark, concentrated fruit and savoury notes in the background, as well as the tightly-wound, concentrated structure. Even more than the two single-vineyard wines, this is a wine that demands cellaring. With age, it is simply awesome.

Press Review
" The deep purple-black colored barrel sample of 2016 Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon features compelling, youthful notes of freshly crushed red and black currants, black cherries, kirsch and mocha with nuances of Marmite toast, roasted nuts, underbrush and truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a very firm frame of super ripe tannins supporting the multilayered flavors, finishing on an epically long, lingering fragrant earth note. Beautiful. "
Press Review
" The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Cask 23 is powerful and savory in the glass, with tons of both aromatic nuance and supporting structure that give the wine gravitas as well as a very clear sense of direction. The plum, blackberry jam, grilled herb, lavender and dark spice notes are all very finely drawn in this big but polished Cabernet Sauvignon from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. "
Winemaking
Fermentation occurs in 100% stainless steel tanks. Each parcel of grapes was vinified and aged separately in small French oak barrels for a period of 21 months. This allowed the characteristics of each block to develop and to take on notes of subtle spice. Blending occurred at the later stages of ageing, with the final blend comprising 56.8% ‘Fay’ fruit and 43.2% S.L.V.
