Stags’ Leap 2019/20 “The Investor” Red

Description

95 Points James Suckling

Unquestionably one of the finest Napa Valley wines at its price point, this is unctuous and thoroughly hedonistic, but there’s also tremendous structure. So much fun to drink.

“Rich, yet there are plenty of tannins to back it up, and they are dusty and firm at that. Full-bodied but not heavy in any way. Layered and already delicious. A blend of Merlot, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec.”
-James Suckling

39% Merlot | 32% Petite Sirah | 19% Cabernet Sauvignon | 10% Malbec

The Investor is a red wine that beautifully blends the unique flavours and expressions of Merlot, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, resulting in a powerful yet approachable assemblage with significant fruit presence. The Merlot contributes fresh red berry aromatics and a soft, velvety texture to balance the power of Petite Sirah, which adds concentration, tannins, spice and blueberry flavours. The Cabernet Sauvignon increases the final blend’s complexity and depth, and the Malbec’s incredibly vibrant floral aromatics heighten the blend’s freshness.
