Re: Stag's Leap Winery

There does seem to be some confusion here. Stag's Leap Wine Cellar is the producer of Cask 23 and does not make a petite syrah. Stag's Leap Winery is the producer of the Pet. They are two completely separate entities with the only thing in common is a close name and the Stag's Leap District home.

Yes, they *do* make a petite syrah. Or, rather, they did. The vines have been pulled. They sourced them from another vineyard and they have not located another source to their liking. I know this because I was at Stag's Leap in February and tasted the petite syrah myself! Stags' Leap also makes a petite syrah.

This web site lists American petite syrah (sirah) producers:

Note both Stag's Leap and Stags' Leap are on the list.
