Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Merlot 2007

Samson Ling reviewed this wine as follows:

Also impressive is the 2007 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Napa Valley Merlot ... I feel it is one of the best Merlots out of California. It has an open and extremely complex nose. There are hints of blueberries, mint, cedar, chocolate, and molasses. The dark fruit in the mouth leaps out of the wine. But it is not a fruit bomb. It is too complex and well-balanced. The finish hangs around seemingly forever. It is still very tannic, despite being five years old and made from Merlot. This is a wine that is simply massively structured.
