On the nose, blueberry, brown sugar, sweet-fruit, plum and blackberry aromas persist with hints of dark chocolate, elderberry and nutmeg characters. Packed with exuberant and youthful black, red and blue fruit, complemented by notes of stewed capsicum, pepper and spice. On the palate, medium-bodied with subtly layered fruit. The luxuriant palate is vibrant, even, lush and silky. Black currant, vanilla, and pronounced tannins persist through the finish. Plenty of mid-palate richness, intensity and depth. Intense blue-berry/mocha/cocoa notes. Full, ripe, balanced with powerful dark fruit/dark chocolate flavors and underlying savory oak. Supple and graceful, with balanced texture, excellent structure and weight. Finishes firm and long.

Winemaker Ryan Rech selected grapes from California’s best winegrowing regions to create a wine as rugged and graceful as The Stag it represents.
The 2015 vintage was light, but outstanding yields with exceptional concentration and color. A warm, dry spring and summer allowed even fruit ripening.
