Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, (not to be confused with Stags' Leap Winery), is a Napa Valley winery established by Warren Winiarski in 1972.
[edit] Awards
The new winery achieved international recognition just four years after its establishment, at the Judgment of Paris where its 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon won first place in a blind taste test by leading wine experts.
The San Francisco Wine Tasting of 1978 was a re-tasting of the same wines 20 months after the Paris event. Stag's Leap again won first place with a different set of judges.
In the Ottawa Wine Tasting of 1981, a re-match held five years after the Paris competition, Stag's Leap won fourth place.
At the French Culinary Institute Wine Tasting of 1986, held ten years after Paris, Stag's Leap received sixth place and in the Wine Spectator Wine Tasting of 1986 it won fourth place.
A bottle of 1973 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon is now in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.
