Put another log on the fire with this offering from the Whale Rock Vineyard of Paso Robles, with heavenly brûlée’d aromas that conjure toasted oak, chestnut and vanilla. Pillowy soft and fused with fresh violet, cassis, and cherry cola, it finishes with a pleasing and memorable bitterness.
The 50-year celebration bottling of the lauded achievement for this estate Chardonnay, landing in the top three awarded Chardonnays from this historic event from 1976. Its billowy mouthfeel offers a creamy base. Crème brûlée, banana, mango, and lemon cookie batter make a rich statement. A fine line of acidity reins in the weight, creating an elegant and pure tasting white wine.
Barrel fermented in French oak and aged on the lees for over six months, it exhibits luscious flavors of peach and mango, lit up by beautifully balanced acidity. Succulent notes of banana cream pie and lemon meringue follow, for a long and satisfying finish.
Named for the famed football star, this red is a touchdown for its super expressive, athletic prowess. Smashed blackberry, black pepper, and graphite deliver to the endzone.
Smoky and savory, with ripe red fruit and a savory finish.
Elegance is instantly ignited with this blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. With savory layers of fresh soil, new leather, roasted coffee, and blackcurrant, we were impressed with its well-designed style.
A well-tuned machine delivering persistence and stability. Notes of beef broth, black plum, and graphite paint a picture of the formidable landscape of Stags Leap District.

An anniversary edition celebrating 40 vintages, this wine displays the elegance and serenity that is Stags Leap District’s superpower. Black plum, iron minerality, and espresso seamlessly wash across the palate. Dignified, with broad shoulders.
