2023 Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap
Renowned for producing some of Napa Valley’s most elegant and age-worthy Cabernets, Stags Leap District combines rocky soils and a cooler valley climate that yields wines of power, grace, and balance.
TASTING NOTES
The 2023 Meadowcroft Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon opens with expressive aromas of ripe black cherry, raspberry, and vanilla, framed by hints of toasty oak and cedar. On the palate, layers of dark cherry and red berry fruit are lifted by soft tannins and vibrant acidity, creating a refined and well structured wine that reflects the hallmark elegance of the Stags Leap terroir. Drink 2026 through 2035.
SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRING
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, herb-crusted beef tenderloin, or wild mushroom risotto. Its supple tannins also complement aged cheeses like Manchego or Gouda, making it a versatile choice for both special occasions and everyday enjoyment.
