  Blackberry, plum nose and tasting. Beautiful tannin, not very acidic. Full body, long finish. I had opened and decanted the wine two hours before serving it. Delicious with the lamb infused with middle eastern infused spice.

  Inky purple with a aromatic melange of black, blue and purple fruit, violets, lavender, mocha, dried eucalyptus leaf and a whiff of mint aromas. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fresh, layered,and impeccably balanced with velvety tannins, and a supple texture. It shows blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, black licorice, black pepper, anise, cacao flavors with and a long finish. Fruit for this wine is sourced from the oldest block on their estate. Planted in 1929, this 5-acre block is a field blend of predominately Petite Sirah, with Carignane, Mourvedre, Grenache, Peloursin, Syrah and even Muscat and Sauvignon Blanc among many others. The grapes were co-fermented and aged in American Oak (30% new) for 14 months. 14.5% abv|SRP 150|500 cases produced.
  
  NE CEDE MALIS (pronounced Ne KAY day Mah LEES) comes from the Latin Phrase "Don't give in to misfortune", the family motto of Stags' Lead founder Horace Chase.
