2010
From Stag's Leap District
Prestigious Napa Valley winery specializing in premium wines and exceptional terroir expression.
The 2010 Winemaker Series Merlot opens with generous aromas of ripe plums and red fruits, complemented by notes of toffee, nutmeg, and tobacco. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a juicy mouthfeel, featuring supple tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is long and layered, revealing dried cranberry and hints of clove, while subtle oak influences add depth and complexity. This Merlot is both approachable and age-worthy, offering a harmonious balance of fruit, spice, and earth.
