Description

When we decided to expand the Addendum program in 2017, finding a foothold in Stags Leap District was a high priority. It is one of the smallest AVAs occupying a small, narrow strip of valley floor against the eastern Vaca Mountain range, and sectioned off from the main valley by a range of small hills. The well-drained alluvial soils and cooling proximity to the San Pablo Bay (only 15 miles south), contribute to the alluring, acclaimed style of wines from this region.

We are fortunate to have the opportunity to work with grapes from the Hirondelle Vineyard at the Clos du Val estate. The block of vineyard we work with is reasonably non-descript – pretty flat and just a stone’s throw from the Silverado Trail – but it gives us grapes that capture fruit driven, texturally pleasing wines for which Stags Leap is known. Wine Enthusiast described our 2019 as “Well-structured, full-bodied and temptingly ripe...It is big but well-balanced." 

Wine Critic Reviews
"One of my favorites in the lineup is the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District, which is all Cabernet sourced from the Clos Du Val Vineyard in the Stags Leap District. Beautifully aromatic, with lots of red and blue fruits as well as cedary herbs, flowers, and leather nuances, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, wonderful overall balance, fine tannins, and a great finish. It has the structure and balance to keep for 15+ years." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "Well-structured, full-bodied and temptingly ripe, this wine pours black cherries, black currants and blackberries alongside cedar, mint and sandalwood spiciness. It is big but well-balanced, offering moderate, velvety tannins that give great support." ~ Wine Enthusiast "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap, from Clos du Val's Hirondell estate vineyard, is another terrific wine. It offers up copious wild cherry, plum, licorice, incense, tobacco and spice, showing all the complexity and pedigree that makes this site one of Napa Valley's best." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
