Napa Merlot
Product Description
The signature of the Stags Leap District is Bordeaux varietals, 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot which are notable for their distinctive combination of power and elegance. When you taste a typical Stags Leap District wine, you understand what all the fuss is about. What’s harder to explain is precisely what it is about the soils and climate of Stags Leap that gives its Cabernets and Merlots such characteristic softness and intensity.
Often referred to as a “valley within a valley,” or valley within Napa Valley, the district is bounded on the east by the towering Stags Leap Palisades, to the west by the gently rolling hills and the Napa River, to the north by the Yountville Cross Road, and to the south by low-lying flatlands. These landscape features lend the district its clear physical identity. “There’s a sense of entering it and leaving it, and, when inside it, of looking out at the rest of the valley.”
