“They claim to clone dijon on the label. They do a pretty decent job at that! Even manage to work some chocolate flavor in there. Very nice overall”

Summary
The heart of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars is undoubtedly the estate vineyards and extraordinary care is taken to assure that a wine’s aroma, flavor, and texture convey a sense of place. As the difference between a good wine and a great one is often in the details, our viticultural practices are driven by extreme, even obsessive, attention to detail. Throughout the growing season and all the way through harvest, vines are cared for to achieve their optimum maturity level and ensure the ‘signature’ of the terroir is expressed to its fullest. The goal is to create wines of classic beauty — wines with balance, complexity and harmony. From the beginning, the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars vision has been to create wines that speak to the place from which they come. These goals are realized in our three limited-production Estate-Grown Cabernet Sauvignons – CASK 23, S.L.V. and FAY—which are crafted from vineyards surrounding the winery. The same classic style of the Estate wines is also expressed in the Napa Valley Collection, which consists of three wines: AVETA Sauvignon Blanc; KARIA Chardonnay and ARTEMIS Cabernet Sauvignon.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Winemaker Series Dijon Clone Chardonnay is a white from Napa Valley, the United States.
Only 10 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 10 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track. 2,310 other whites from the United States form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Winemaker Series Dijon Clone Chardonnay lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · United States (2,311 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 10.
