“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap is blended of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it starts off a little closed and broody, giving way to notes of plum preserves, blackcurrant cordial and chocolate-covered cherries, plus hints of unsmoked cigars and black truffles. Medium-bodied, elegant and refreshing, it has lots of tightly wound black fruit and earthy layers with a firm, fine-grained frame and long mineral-laced finish.” - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, November 30, 2021
“Christophe Paubert tends 85 acres of vines directly under the Stags’ Leap escarpment, selecting this wine from lots he finds to be the most expressive of the site. This vintage has the particular kind of stinky reduction of a wine grown in rocky volcanic soils, opening with air to boysenberry flavors, forest blackberry and violet notes. The reduction points up the wine’s energy even as it grows more elastic, driving through hard tannins to last on a long, savory fruit finish.” - Joshua Greene, December 2021
For Christophe Paubert, Winemaker and General Manager at Stags’ Leap Winery, the identity of a wine is found through the terroir. Christophe’s career has spanned the industry from sales to winemaking, and his impressive background includes positions at Chateau d’Yquem and Gruaud-Larose as well as projects in Chile, Spain and Washington State. But it was the terroir of Stags’ Leap that drew him to California.
