Stags' Leap Winery Merlot 2018

With freshness emphasizing its southern Napa origins, this Merlot combines juicy dark cherry fruit, blueberry and light floral violet notes with subtle hints of cinnamon, vanilla, clove and cocoa, imparted from the oak ageing. The generous fruit flavours, polished structure, mouthwatering acidity, silky tannins and lush texture show just how complex and refined Merlot can be.

93 Points - James Suckling    A medium-bodied red with chocolate, hazelnut and berry character. Medium to full body, round tannins and a juicy finish. Nicely put together. Drink or hold.
