“The 2018 SLOAN is a flat out stunner. Rich, dramatic and full-bodied, with
striking energy, the 2018 is viscerally thrilling right out of the gate. Black
cherry, plum, mocha, licorice and gravel all build as this towering, statuesque
Cabernet shows if its pedigree. The 2018 is simply magical, and just as
breathtaking from the bottle as it was a barrel sample last year. It is the very
finest Sloan I have ever tasted.”

Includes red wines where there is either no predominant variety or the blend is proprietary.
California is one of the most diverse wine producing regions of the world. Although it has a history spanning over 200 years, it has experienced most of its growth in the last fifty years. The regions of Napa Valley and Sonoma County have become as renowned as France’s Bordeaux and Burgundy. While Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay are by far the most popular fine wine varieties, producers in the Golden State have also experimented with an unparalleled array of diverse varieties, including Zinfandel, Syrah, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, and Tempranillo.
The country’s most famous wine producing region, Napa Valley stretches from the North bay of San Francisco Bay in the South, all the way up to Mount Saint Helena in the North. Although the climate is suitable for a wide range of varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon is dominant and practically synonymous with the region. To account for its geographical diversity, the valley is split up into a number of AVAs. From north to south, the valley consists of Calistoga, St. Helena, Rutherford, Oakville, Yountville, and Oak Knoll. Higher elevation sites include Howell Mountain on the east and Mount Veeder on the west. On its own, Stags Leap District is tucked into the very south east corner of the valley.
