Wine Description
Petite Syrah has long been a part of Stags'
Leap Winery history. The 70-year old Petite Syrah
vineyards located in front of the Manor House
on the Estate's deep, rocky soils contribute to
this blend, together with fruit from Stags' Leaps Petite Syrah partner growers up and down the Napa
Valley. Each year, Winemaker Kevin Morrisey
creates a wine that reflects the property's ongoing
commitment to this varietal by combining this
diversity into a classic and complex blend.
Rich aromatics of ripe blueberry, blackberry, and
cocoa together with a floral back note are the
introduction to this expressive Petite Syrah.
On the palate, ripe black fruit, espresso, spice
and mocha commingle to create a luscious and
balanced wine that features structured tannins
and juicy, berry flavors to the end.
