Terrazas de los Andes Cabernet Sauvignon. Naturally low-yield vines grown in the clay soils of Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, bring forth full-bodied, generous flavors. And our best plot in Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley, offers spicy, fruity aromas. Blending the contrasts of five in transition to organic plots, this Mendoza red wine is perfect for ageing.

TASTING NOTES
This Argentinean Cabernet Sauvignon offers a complex bouquet that shows back pepper, tobacco and fresh herbal hints, combined with notes of dark chocolate and caramel due to the oak aging. In mouth, it stands out for presenting a greasy and long sensation with granular tannins and a fresh finish.

This Sauvignon Blanc is all about the fruit spectrum from citrus flavors through the tropical. Look for notes of tangerine, peach, pear, melon, and pineapple all brought together in a focused manner. This is the perfect wine to enjoy poolside.

AWARD: 90 points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine 2024

Incredibly concentrated, the 2016 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is bold yet bright with a pronounced licorice finish. The intense violet hue lends well to a nose dominated by red fruit and spice. Pomegranate, sage, thyme, and rosemary blend seamlessly with a subtle mineral quality.

Caymus has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe tannins – as approachable in youth as in maturity. Since its founding in 1972, Caymus has become renowned as a consistent leader in the production of Napa Valley Cabernet. Grapes for this wine are farmed in a range of Napa’s sub-appellations – from Coombsville to Calistoga – with fruit from the valley floor creating lushness and the hillsides providing backbone. Diversification enables us to make the best possible wine in a given year, featuring layered, lush aromas and flavors, including cocoa, cassis and ripe berries.

Caravan shares the pedigree of Darioush’s Signature wines, but displays more ripe, saturated fruit with an elegantly textured finish. Caravan is anchored in Cabernet Sauvignon with lesser amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and/or Malbec and Petit Verdot added for depth and complexity of flavor.

TASTING NOTES
Drawing inspiration from a refined Left-Bank Bordeaux blend, Caravan commands attention with a core of mouthwatering raspberry and black plum fruit while baking spices of cinnamon and nutmeg swirl on the palate.
Cabernet Sauvignon leads the way with its plush, velvety texture while Merlot and Cabernet Franc add savory top notes of bay leaf, hawthorn, and sandalwood. A flourish of rich, round fruits sweep across the midpalate, then culminate in an aromatic finish accentuated by dark chocolate reminiscent of a fine dusting of cocoa powder.

A rich bright red to crimson color, this wine has an intense nose with lifted vanilla aromatics balanced with red currants, violets, and mulberry fruits. It is a wine that is firm and full on the palate with a subtle sweetness giving a rich mouth feel. The vanilla aromatics carry through on the palate and complement subtle flavours of red currants, dark cherries, and chocolate. The palate is filled with dark berry fruit and the soft tannins provide a lingering finish.

Winemaking Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon is synonymous with Napa Valley and has always been a mainstay in the winemaking program at Stags’ Leap Winery. Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a combination of grapes from select Napa Valley growers with a focus on sourcing from the valley floor. Our winemaker selects fruit that is similar in expression to the grapes from the Stags’ Leap estate, avoiding fruit from areas he considers to be too warm and instead sourcing grapes from the southern part of Napa Valley, where the climate is cooler. This strategic sourcing ensures the focus and character for which Stags’ Leap Cabernet Sauvignons are known.

Tasting Notes

Cabernet sauvignon is the core of our winemaking program and this elegant wine is plush and inviting with generous dark berry fruit flavors and integrated notes of violet, clove and cedar.

The Frank Family Vineyards first opened their doors in 1993, when former Disney Studios president Rich Frank bought the Larkmead Winery. The historic winery was constructed in 1884 and is the 3rd oldest winery in Napa Valley. Larkmead was famous for sparkling wines and it's said that Marilyn Monroe was a regular visitor. While they continue the tradition of producing sparkling wine using the French champenoise method, they are more focused on superb still wines today, employing the four estate vineyards in Rutherford, Napa-Carneros, and Napa's Capell Valley. Their Napa Valley wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Zinfandel, but they also have plenty of Reserve wines. They use 100% French oak barrels and everything is done on-site. They are also committed to sustainability and the winery is Napa Green certified since 2015. The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon vintage from their Napa Valley lineup is crafted from 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc varietals. These were harvested between September 20 and October 22, 2016. It's a rich and complex Cabernet Sauvignon with stunning structure.

A breathtakingly beautiful place set among centuries-old oak trees and a patchwork of meticulously planted vineyards, Oakville has become recognized as one of the world’s preeminent wine regions. Here soil and climate coalesce, allowing us to produce elegant, age-worthy and immensely enjoyable Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit for this delicious wine comes from our Oakville Estate and carefully selected lots from our grower neighbors.

The alluring dense, dark plum color of the 2016 Oakville Cabernet is the first indication of the rich extraction in this wine. Sweet aromas of blackberry tart, ripe plums and marzipan are complemented with a savory hint of toasted coriander seed. The palate opens smoothly, building to a rich, full mouthfeel — the young tannins hinting at a restrained power. A beautifully balanced acidity dances throughout — giving an undercurrent of freshness and a counterpoint to the sweetness of the new French oak, lifting the dark fruits and bringing forward ripe red berries. The finish is layered with baking spices, wild blackberries, and a hint of dried black currant. This wine is enjoyably exuberant now but has the fruit and structure to last another 15+ years should you desire.

Thomas S. Moore Merlot Casks Finished Bourbon Whiskey is a remarkable spirit that combines the rich profile of bourbon with the fruity nuances of Merlot.

Perfect for sipping neat or in cocktails, this bourbon is available for purchase from Royal Batch, making it an excellent addition to any whiskey enthusiast's collection.

An ever-changing specimen, Rhetoric is an experiment in how barrel maturation imparts a lasting impression year after year. Each new year results in an older and wiser limited release from remaining maturing stock. A conversation piece if there ever was one.

Each sip starts with a smoky, leathery nose that translates into vanilla oak, toasted rye, and dried fruits, and concludes with a long, full finish of cherry blossom and bitter chocolate.

Our sixth release, this 25-year-old Bourbon Whiskey has an aroma rich in oak and vanilla notes with hints of dried fruit, cherries and allspice. Oaky notes with nutmeg, caramel, and cocoa give way to a warm and slightly spicy finish.
