The story of Cask 23 began during the harvest of 1974. Back then, the winery enlisted the help of celebrated winemaker André Tchelistcheff. As he tasted through various lots of new wines from that year, one lot from S.L.V. was so beautiful and deliciously distinct the winery decided it should be bottled separately.

It was named Cask 23 for the large wooden cask in which it was aged. Today, the wine is a blend of the most distinctive fruit from the S.L.V and FAY vineyards, resulting in a wine of extraordinary depth and richness balanced by restraint.

Over the years, Cask 23 has become one of the most highly regarded and collected wines worldwide.

The 2010 Cask 23 opens with deep red and black cherry aromas along with notes of juicy strawberry, cocoa and spice.

On the palate, this classic Napa cabernet is full bodied with rich dark berry fruit with hints of cedar and white truffle that lead to a long fruit and spice driven finish.
