The name was chosen as a fitting moniker to express the vibrant fruit flavours and minerality of the Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, which is crafted from fruit grown in the alluvial soils of the estate vineyards as well as other exceptional Napa Valley sites. Fruit for this wine was sourced from a number of vineyards all located in the Oak Knoll District. Oak Knoll fruit brings spicy peach, guava and grapefruit notes to the mix. At the winery the juice was fermented at cool temperatures in a mix of stainless steel (33%) and neutral French oak barrels (67%). The wine was then aged on light lees for just over six months and was stirred every two weeks, providing some roundness to the wine’s texture. The 2022 AVETA Sauvignon Blanc offers fragrant aromas of grapefruit, lemongrass, citrus, lychee and orange blossom. The wine is bright and lively on the palate with a thirst-quenching acidity and pure flavors of mandarin orange and honeysuckle that lead to a lasting aftertaste.

Today, this vineyard continues to produce wines with layers of complexity, spicy intensity and excellent structure. In 1976, the 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon won the famous Judgment of Paris blind tasting. For this wine the primary blocks were 2A, 3A, 1A, 3B and S.L.V. Block 4 – the “grande dame” of the vineyard – which was planted in 1972. These vines along with blocks on the eastern side of S.L.V., characterised by their fire-borne volcanic soils, give this wine its structure and sense of minerality along with concentrated dark fruit flavours and ripe, elegant tannins. The 2020 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon offers generous aromas of black fruit, cocoa, blackberry jam, ripe plum and baking spice. Integrated fruit and oak flavours meld on the palate with rich, polished tannins. The tannin structure, dark fruit, and pleasing minerality point to this wine’s ability to age.
