The Soul of Napa Reds – Stags’ Leap Winery
Established in 1893 and set against the sun-warmed cliffs of the Stags Leap District, this historic property has long defined what it means for a red wine to be both powerful and poised.
At the core is the Stags’ Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, a classic expression of the district’s rocky soils and cool nights. It offers layers of blackberry, cassis, and dark plum woven with graphite and cedar — a wine of depth and structure that rewards patience as much as it delights today.
The Merlot delivers a softer, more seductive side of Napa. Plush red fruit, mocha, and hints of baking spice glide across the palate, balanced by vibrant acidity and refined tannins. It’s the perfect companion to roasted meats or an evening by the fire.
Then there’s the estate’s signature Petite Sirah — rich, dark, and commanding. Black fruit, violets, and espresso notes swirl in a wine that showcases both concentration and grace, a hallmark of Stags’ Leap craftsmanship.
Together, these reds tell the story of one of Napa’s most storied estates — a harmony of heritage, terroir, and timeless elegance.

Audentia Cabernet Sauvignon  |

| WA 95 (3/2016): Another extraordinary wine is the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Audentia. This is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Petite Sirah aged 20 months in a combination of new and neutral French oak. A very expensive wine, there are only 638 cases of it; this is meant for long-term cellaring for collectors. Notes of tobacco leaf, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, roasted coffee and spring flowers all jump from the glass of this powerful, rich wine that is singular in style and character. |

| WA 94+ (12/2016): A super selection of their best Cabernet Sauvignons includes the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Audentia Estate. This is a beauty, a classic example of this vintage, with sweet tannin (and lots of it), intense, full-bodied, concentrated fruit, blackcurrants and blackberry, some licorice, camphor and a long, long finish. This is another long-distance proposition to be put away for 4-5 years and drunk over the following three decades. |

| VM 87 (12/2011): The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is an attractive wine laced with sweet red cherries, flowers and spices. Hints of licorice and mint add complexity to the feminine finish. This forward, juicy Cabernet is best enjoyed over the next few years. Antonio Galloni. |

| WA 87 (10/2013): The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Malbec) exhibits elegant black raspberry, mulberry and chocolate aromas, a lush, nicely crafted, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, excellent purity, and plenty of berry fruit and wood spice characteristics. It should drink well for 15 or more years. |

| WA 91 (10/2014): The sensational 2011 Petite Sirah Ne Cede Malis Estate comes from a plot of old vines planted in 1929. A superstar in 2011, it boasts a dense blue/purple color as well as copious aromas of blueberries, black raspberries, licorice, camphor and incense. Deep, pure and impressively endowed, it is best consumed over the next 10-15 years. |

| WA 93 (12/2007): A terrific effort is the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Leap Estate Reserve. This beautiful Cabernet possesses all the elegance one expects from the Stags Leap District in addition to notes of mulberries, black cherries, cedar, and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied and fragrant, with a Margaux-like delicacy and finesse, and endearing purity and depth, it should drink well for 12-15+ years. |

| WA 89 (10/2013): The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap Estate is more similar than different in any significant way from the previous wine. I have always thought of this winery as a Petite Sirah specialist, but they are now also producing cuvees of Cabernet Sauvignon, a proprietary red and a couple of Merlots. Stags Leap Winery first made its reputation with its Petite Sirahs, and they now offer two cuvees of California’s most underrated varietal. |

| WA 90+ (10/2013): The 2010 Petite Sirah Napa, a blend of 77% Petite Sirah, 12% Syrah, 6% Grenache and the rest Carignan, Mourvedre and Viognier, is widely available as there are nearly 20,000 cases. This beautiful effort exhibits notes of raspberries, black cherry liqueur, crushed rocks, blueberries and other black fruits. At this stage it is still very much a fruit bomb, but I think the inclusion of the other varietals has toned it down and made it more approachable than a 100% Petite Sirah would be. This is a fascinating, pure, impressive wine to enjoy over the next two to three decades. |
