About Steltzner Vineyards
Steltzner Vineyards is one of the original pioneering Stags Leap District wine families. Richard Steltzner, who established his Silverado Trail Stags Leap District estate in 1971, before Warren Winiarski founded Stag's Leap Wine Cellars and before the Stags Leap District had been formally recognized as a distinct Napa Valley sub-appellation, was among the very first farmers to recognize the palisade volcanic terrain's potential for world-class Cabernet Sauvignon production.
The Steltzner family estate, continuously family-farmed on the Silverado Trail since 1971 through the 1976 Judgment of Paris, the formal Stags Leap District AVA designation in 1989, and the subsequent international recognition of the palisade volcanic terrain as producing Napa Valley's most iron-mineral and food-first-quality Cabernet Sauvignon, represents one of the most historically founding-significance and personally continuously family-operated Stags Leap District wine appointments available.
For wine lovers who want the most historically founding-significance and personally family-continuously-operated Stags Leap District palisade Cabernet Sauvignon appointment, the family that was farming the volcanic palisade terrain before Warren Winiarski's 1976 Paris triumph confirmed what Stags Leap District pioneers suspected, Steltzner provides the most genuinely founding-era and continuously family-farming-knowledge-accumulated Stags Leap District appointment.
