From the producer

History & ownership (Stags' Leap Winery)

Stags' Leap Winery says on its own site that grapes were first planted on its Napa Valley property in 1872, and that owner Carl Doumani sold the estate in 1996 to Beringer, which is now part of Treasury Wine Estates.

Research status

Where this page is headed

We are checking the current release, the producer record, and the bottle itself. Until that work is complete, this page reports only the facts carried by the dated store feed and shared region and grape research.

Region guideNapa Valley

A little background helps this bottle make sense.

Getting to know Napa Valley.

Napa Valley is only about 30 miles long, yet its floor, hillsides and mountain sites differ sharply. The valley name establishes origin, while a nested AVA or vineyard gives a closer reading of place.

The place

What the name means

Napa Valley has been a federally recognized American Viticultural Area since 1981. Seventeen smaller AVAs now sit within its boundary.

Weather

How grapes grow here

The valley has a dry Mediterranean climate. San Pablo Bay cools the south, summer afternoons grow warmer toward the north, and fog lowers overnight temperatures across much of the valley.

Soil

What lies under the vines

Volcanic, marine and river activity created unusually varied ground. Napa Valley Vintners reports half of the world's twelve soil orders and 33 soil series within the region.

How large the region is

Land under cultivation
47,216 acres, or 19,108 hectares, are reported under cultivation.
Nested AVAs
17 approved AVAs sit within the Napa Valley AVA.

Places within the region

Valley floor
Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena and Yountville are among the nested floor and benchland AVAs.
Hills and edges
Atlas Peak, Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder and Los Carneros show how elevation and bay influence change within the valley.
Grape guideChardonnay

The grape name gives context. It is not a review of this bottle.

Getting to know Chardonnay.

Chardonnay is a white grape used for still and sparkling wine. It can be made without oak for a lighter shape or fermented and aged in oak for more weight.

Category guide

What to expect in the glass

Official category guides place citrus and apple at the cooler end and stone fruit or tropical fruit in riper examples. Oak and time on the spent yeast can add toast, spice and a rounder texture, but those features are winemaking choices rather than a guarantee.
