Stags' Leap Napa Valley Merlot Red Wine is crafted with fruit from Oak Knoll, Oakville, and our very own Stags Leap District. The palate is fleshy, rich, and full, with mouthwatering fruit flavors, polished structure, and soft, velvety tannins, leading to a lengthy finish. It is a well-balanced wine that shows the true elegance of Merlot. Established in 1893, Stags’ Leap Winery is one of the oldest California wine estates within the acclaimed Stags Leap District. A unique terroir and ideal microclimate support a classical standard of viticulture, land use, and winemaking that is as relevant today as it was over a century ago.
