"Deep purple in color, Stags Leap District has characteristics typical of this region, bright, high-toned aromas of black cherry, crushed rocks, and dark chocolate. A savory vinous character rises from the glass. The palate is lush, round, opulent, and very concentrated with a strong note of kirsch liquor. The penetrating and sweet character of the tannins lead to a decadent finish that gains depth, traction, and builds length."
