Process & Profile

Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars CASK 23 Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 represents one of Napa Valley’s most iconic and collectible Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings. First introduced in 1974, CASK 23 was created to showcase exceptional vineyard lots deemed worthy of separate elevation. The 2022 vintage continues this legacy by blending fruit from the estate’s renowned FAY and S.L.V. vineyards in the Stags Leap District. These two sites complement each other—FAY contributing aromatic lift and plush texture, while S.L.V. provides structure, depth, and mineral-driven intensity. The wine is produced entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for approximately 20 months in new French oak barrels, resulting in a wine that balances power, elegance, and age-worthy structure.
