2006 Stags' Leap Winery Napa Valley Merlot
SKU #500077
Merlot vines grow exceptionally in the Bale Loams of Stags’ Leap: alluvial soils with volcanic ash minerality.Underneath the top layer exists a deeper layer of sandy loam laced with gravel and cobbles, allowing the kind of quick and thorough drainage that leaves the vines a little thirsty, concentrating their flavors. Searching for vineyards whose grapes complement the Estate has led us to partnerships with some of Napa Valley’s premiere grape growers.Careful vineyard selection, followed by meticulous farming yields a Merlot with rich fruit flavors, full body, and firm structure.

The Stags' Leap Napa Valley Merlot opens with aromas of black currant, fennel, leather and cassis. The palate reveals a dense, full-bodied wine with layers of plum, espresso, brambles and licorice. Firm tannins carry through to a finish of velvety bittersweet.
