The Judgment of Paris Winner: S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon
The Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars ‘S.L.V.’ (Stag’s Leap Vineyards) Cabernet Sauvignon is a benchmark for Napa Valley excellence. This is the wine that famously beat top First Growth Bordeaux in the 1976 ‘Judgment of Paris’ blind tasting, securing its place as an undisputed California Cult Wine. Sourced exclusively from the winery’s first and most historic vineyard, this bottle delivers power, complexity, and age-worthiness.
Tasting Profile
- Color: Deep, inky garnet.
- Nose: An opulent bouquet of concentrated blackcurrant, crushed blueberry, espresso bean, and cocoa, framed by seductive notes of vanilla and cedar.
- Palate: Full-bodied and energetic. The structure is defined by powerful, yet incredibly refined, fine-grained tannins that carry the rich dark fruit and mineral core through to a sophisticated, decades-long finish.
Pairing & Serving Suggestions
Decant for 2-3 hours in its youth to allow the layers to unfold. Serve at cellar temperature (62°F-65°F) alongside premium cuts of meat.
- Food Pairing: Grilled Hanger Steak with Chimichurri, Prime Rib Roast, or a rich mushroom-based dish.
