STAGS LEAP WN CEL CAB SV CASK23 01

Details

The story of CASK 23 began during the harvest of 1974. Back then, the winery enlisted the help of celebrated winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff. As he tasted through various lots of new wines from that year, one lot from S.L.V. was so beautiful and deliciously distinct the winery decided it should be bottled separately. It was named CASK 23 for the large wooden cask in which it was aged. Today, the wine is a blend of the most distinctive fruit from the S.L.V and FAY vineyards, resulting in a wine of extraordinary depth and richness balanced by restraint. Over the years, CASK 23 has become one of the most highly regarded and collected wines worldwide.

Tasting Notes:
This is an elegant, flavorful Cabernet Sauvignon with integrated oak, refined tannins and a lasting aftertaste. Structures of dark fruit with fresh aromas of red and black currant, black tea, anise and nutmeg that fill the nose.
