Stag’s Leap Winery is near Yountville, in the Stag’s Leap District of Napa Valley. The 240-acre estate was founded in 1893 as Stag’s Leap Manor, but since 1997 it has been owned by Beringer Wine Estates. The estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Merlot, Chardonnay, Viognier and several blends.
Atlas Peak AVA is perched above the Stags Leap AVA to the northeast of the city of Napa. Elevation ranges from 760 to 2,600 feet, and temperatures are up to 15 degrees cooler in the Atlas Peak vineyards compared with vineyards in the valley. There are 1,500 vineyard acres planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The appellation was named for Atlas Peak, which, at 2,633 feet above sea level, is the highest peak in the area.
One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
