2018 Stags’ Leap Winery The Investor

2018 Stags’ Leap Winery The Investor This elegant and concentrated 2018 wine is a blend of Merlot, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec.

95 James Suckling: This is blowzy and rich, yet there are plenty of tannins to back it up, and they are dusty and firm at that. Full-bodied, but not heavy in any way. Layered and already delicious. A blend of merlot, petite sirah, cabernet sauvignon and malbec. Drink or hold.

Stags’ Leap

In 1890, Horace Chase hired Mathias Vandeleur, a stonemason and bridge builder, to construct the Manor House from stone quarried in a nearby hillside. Vandeleur and his crew (who had worked on such large projects as the Greystone Manor – now the Culinary Institute) built the house as a summer retreat for the Chase’s. The castle-like house was described as being built on the exterior in the English Renaissance style with an interior of coffered ceilings of redwood and white oak flooring in the Arts and Crafts style popular at that time. One of the beautiful showcase items in the house is a stained glass window with the Chase family coat of arms that included the motto “Ne Cede Malis.”
The building of the “Old Stone Cellar” surrounding the cave is often attributed to the Chases. If they did so, it was during the same year as the building of the cave (or soon afterward). At some point after 1909, when the Chase’s misfortune forced them to relinquish the estate, the old winery burned leaving only the roofless stone walls. Under the Grange ownership, the Old Stone Cellar, roofless but still retaining the bell tower, was decorated as a dance pavilion with a live orchestra providing music so that guests could “dance under the stars” on Saturday nights. Finally, in the 1970s it was restored to its original beauty and purpose under Carl Doumani.
