Score 88/100 · Drink 2014-2022, Robert Parker, Oct 2014
There are 25,000 cases of the 2012 Merlot, a blend of 89% Merlot and the rest small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah. It exhibits loads of chocolaty, berry fruit, silky tannins, medium body, and a lovely, lush texture. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

About the producer

Stags' Leap Winery
Often confused with Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, Stags’ Leap Winery is another Stags Leap District estate. With a long history, its Petite Sirah has cult status among aficionados, although – like most Napa estates – it produces a range of Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
