Stags' Leap Napa Valley Petite Syrah

Petite Sirah is a varietal that is enhanced by the deliberate diversity of our vineyard sites. Grapes from the vineyards located on our estate's deep, rocky soils make up the backbone of this Napa Valley Petite Sirah. Carefully selected fruit from both northern vineyards in Calistoga and St. Helena and southern vineyards in Oakville, Oak Knoll and Coombsville are added to intensify and broaden the wine's profile to include floral, spice and fruit characteristics.

Tasting Note

Exudes strong notes of blackberry, blueberry and black cherry fruits interwoven with more savoury notes of black pepper and cocoa power. On the palate, juicy flavours of creamy cassis, macerated blackberry, cherry kirsch, black liquorice, and peppery plum envelope the rich, saturated mouthfeel. This wine is smooth and silky with velvety tannins and a generous lengthy finish, encouraging you to enjoy it now, but has the depth and complexity to age for many years to come.
