| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\nTruly exemplary of the winery\u2019s ability to combine power and grace, the 2020 Investor is layered, nuanced, and inviting, with alluring notes of juicy black cherry, blackcurrant, crushed blueberry, and dark plum, alongside notes of allspice, caramel, and clove. The fruit character is supported by black pepper spice, anise seed, and floral potpourri, interwoven with hints of fresh thyme, wild lavender, and sage. The well-structured mouthfeel is plush and harmonious with velvety-rich tannins that coat the palate, Finishing with a core of fresh acidity and brightness.\r\nCertain to enliven any celebratory occasion, the wine pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes.\r\nBlend: 40% Merlot, 30% Petite Sirah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon,10% Malbec\r\n\r\nWine Enthusiast 97 Points\r\nJames Suckling 93 Points\r\nAbout Stags Leap\r\n \r\nOn one of California\u2019s earliest wine estates, a unique terroir and ideal microclimate support a classical standard of viticulture, land use, and winemaking that is as relevant today as it was over a century ago. An intimate valley within the greater Napa Valley, Stags\u2019 Leap is a 240-acre estate, of which 85-acres are planted with grape vines.\r\nThis combination of Napa Valley\u2019s extended growing season with the accentuated warmth and cooling of the Stags Leap District results in an ideal balance of acid and sugar in the fruit. The wine grapes are given time to mature and develop their characteristic soft texture and intense flavors.\r\nThe 85-acre Estate Vineyard is divided into 23 separate blocks based on soil type and exposure to the sun, in a combination of valley floor and hillside slope plantings. Each block perfectly matches each grape variety to its ideal soil type. Most of the blocks are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, and Merlot. The exception is Ne Cede Malis Block 5. |
