The Herzog family released a special line of wines to commemorate their nine generations in the winemaking business. These limited-edition wines are produced in quantities of fewer than 1000 cases. Among those wines is Herzog Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon Generation IX.
Stags Leap is one of California’s smallest and most sought after AVAs with only 1,200 planted acres. Unique soil and climate produce Cabernet Sauvignon notable for its distinctive combination of power and elegance, which is reflected in every sip of Herzog Stags Leap Generation IX Cabernet Sauvignon.

Notes: Dry, full-bodied. Aromas and flavors of black currant, star anise, cinnamon and blueberries
Pairings: Steak, rack of lamb, chocolate ganache
Serving Suggestions: Room temperature
Region: California
Alcohol Content: 14%
