2010
From Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars
Renowned for its iconic Cabernet Sauvignons from the Stag’s Leap District
The 2010 Winemaker Series Merlot opens with generous aromas of ripe plums and red fruits, accented by notes of toffee, nutmeg, and tobacco. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a juicy mouthfeel and supple tannins. Flavors of dried cranberry and hints of clove emerge on the long, lingering finish, adding layers of complexity. The wine’s balance of fruit, spice, and subtle oak creates a profile that is both inviting and sophisticated, making it a standout example of Napa Valley Merlot.[1]
