Gonna be with the entire family next weekend and my aunt loves Stag’s Leap. What are some good vintages to grab this week to surprise her?

Winery or Cellar?

If it’s Warren’s place, and you can get your hands on a 94 Fay, that would be a great choice.

If Stags Leap Wine Cellars-
The winery had problems with TCA (cork taint) in the cellar leading up to the sale to Antinori & Chat St Michelle in the mid to late 2000’s. Some are bothered by this more than others, but 2002, 2003, 2004 were sporadic for me. Some were fine, others were muted/flat.
I’d shy away from those vintages unless you’re getting a great deal. I’m otherwise a big fan of the winery.
