Score 91/100 · Drink 2022-2033, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Nov 2021

The 2018 The Investor is composed of 40% Merlot, 32% Petite Sirah, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Malbec. Deep garnet-purple in color, it delivers blueberry compote, raspberry coulis and Morello cherries notes with hints of cumin seed, tar and star anise. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is plush and laden with juicy black fruits, framed by ripe rounded tannins and lively acidity, finishing with a red berry lift.

Score 95/100 · James Suckling, Jun 2021

This is blowzy and rich, yet there are plenty of tannins to back it up, and they are dusty and firm at that. Full-bodied, but not heavy in any way. Layered and already delicious. A blend of merlot, petite sirah, cabernet sauvignon and malbec. Drink or hold.

Often confused with Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, Stags’ Leap Winery is another Stags Leap District estate. With a long history, its Petite Sirah has cult status among aficionados, although – like most Napa estates – it produces a range of Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
