Napa's neighborhood for world-class reds, the Stags Leap District attracts some of the best in California including: Chimney Rock, Shafer, Quixote, and Clos du Val. Vineyards here date back to the mid-1800s when the Silverado Trail was just a quiet horse path. Cabernet Sauvignon became Napa's star during the 1976 Judgment of Paris, when Stags Leap took first place over the French First Growth Bordeaux's Mouton-Rothschild and Haut Brion. The staggering impact of the "win" was reinforced ten years later when the same wines were tasted a second time. The winner was a Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, 1972 Clos Du Val. As Karen MacNeil says "when you taste a Stags Leap District wine, you understand what all the fuss is about." The Block 714 Special Reserve is the best kept secret in California, and all about the textural hedonism. In a banner vintage, this is a remarkable find from Napa Valley!

"Ripe, firm and ultrarich. A terroir-driven beauty gushing with dark fruit flavors of plum, blackberry, cassis and currant. Full-bodied and layered, this gorgeous wine picks up coffee, chocolate, anise and a hint of eucalyptus followed by a strong finish that goes on and on!" The Wine Buyer, 96 Points
