Stags' Leap Winery
Ne Cede Malis Stags Leap District Petite Sirah


Third of the blind red wines. Theme was Cabernet Sauvignon or Bordeaux Blend from Oakville, Stags Leap District or generic Napa Valley with professional reviews of 95+. This one was a ringer in the mix.
Deep purplish red in appearance. A bit mute on the nose with some chalky and dark fruit notes. Medium tannins (6/10) and full bodied. Lots of black cherries, gravel and a touch meaty on the palate. Overall still baby with a super long and powerful finish. Wouldn't touch one of these for a few years. Drink from 2020 till 2030+. (91+)
