Winemaker Notes
A beautiful, deeply textured Bordeaux style blend from the renowned Stags Leap District of Napa Valley. This wine has aromas of cherry and cocoa with subtle hints of violets, vanilla, and caramel. On the palate it is lushly textured with silky tannins and a round mid-palate, followed by a long delicate finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 77% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Elevage reveals a deep garnet-purple color with an earthy/spicy nose along with dried herbs and notions of stewed plums and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, with chewy tannins and soft-spoken fruit, it finishes earthy.

Wine Enthusiast
This is a blend of 77% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot from the producer's estate in the heart of the appellation. It is driven by a velvety texture, with plush wrap-around tannins running the show. Oak, sage and cedar define the flavors alongside layers of plum and red currant.
