Stags’ Leap Winery’s Napa Valley Petite Sirah 2022 is a rich, historic benchmark expression that honors the estate's long-standing mastery of this bold varietal. Pours a deep, opaque ruby-black with a vibrant purple rim in the glass, it opens with an expressive and highly aromatic nose of ripe blackberry, black raspberry, and dark cherry, gracefully layered with rustic floral notes of dried rose petals and violet, alongside hints of warm vanilla, cedar, and subtle oak spice. Full-bodied, opulent, and robust on the palate, it delivers a concentrated, mouth-filling core of blackberry preserves, dark plum, and black mission fig accented by touches of cocoa and earthy spice. It is balanced by a buoyant, juicy acidity and rounded, well-structured tannins that carry through to a long, powerful, and deeply pleasing finish.
