The Story of The Hands of Time:
Along a shady walkway on the tranquil grounds of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars one comes across a succession of limestone plaques, each bearing a handprint. These handprints comprise the Hands of Time exhibit, an enduring tribute to the many people who contributed to the winery’s history over the years and who have gone on to become celebrated winemakers and viticulturists in their own right. With a tradition of mentoring that dates back to our founding in 1970, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars has been a springboard for many a storied winemaker’s career. This wine is a tribute to our alumni whose unwavering vision of crafting elegant and balanced wines has been passed down from teacher to student, and through the hands of time.
Tasting Notes:
This Napa Valley red blend has aromas and flavors of blackberry, ripe plum and a hint of cocoa. On the palate, the wine is fruit forward and round in texture with cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg spice notes.
