Over the last few years, the Stags Leap Chardonnay has become a great customer favorite and the 2019 Vintage is not going to disappoint.
.jpg) This beautiful estate has its roots stretching back to the late 1880's. In the late 1880s, Horace Chase, an eligible bachelor from Chicago, and Mary Ysabela "Minnie" Mizner, belle of society in the former state capital of Benicia, met at Napa Soda Springs Resort in the hills outside Napa.
While the Manor House was being constructed Horace had decided to take advantage of grapes on the property by making wine. By 1892, 80 acres of vineyards were in production. Since he had no winemaking facilities, he built a 150 foot wine cave by blasting into the volcanic rhyolite rock of the Palisades. The cave was the first to be built into the east side of the Napa Valley.
 "The boisterous bouquet invites you in with lively aromas of delicate Meyer lemon, orange blossom, fresh white peach and delicate honeysuckle, supported by more subtle notes of Tarte Tatin and brioche toast. Fresh, vibrant and mouthwatering, the palate is crisp with layers of ripe Golden Delicious apple, guava and warm Asian pear, backed up by a luscious texture that is rich and balanced. Well-integrated notes of vanilla, allspice and crème brûlée lead to a lengthy finish that is full and bright. Maintaining a core of fresh acidity, this Chardonnay is graceful and elegant, full of depth and complexity." -Winemakers Notes
