$54.00 per bottle
Description:
Ne Cede Malis introduces aromas of black fruits wrapped in orange peel, roasted nut, clove and vanilla bean. This inky, almost blue black, full bodied wine boasts flavors of blackberry, black currant, cherry, licorice and cassis. A substantial tannin structure that is well integrated because of 22 months barrel aging in American oak carries the fruit and spice flavors into a long, rich finish. Earthiness adds another dimension. “This wine shows an unabashed personality. The fruit is so expressive, and the structure is quintessentially Stags’ Leap,” adds Brittan.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
