Drank the 2020 and it was slightly peppery. No tannins and felt flat in the mouth

Sweet fruit forward: cherry, plum and blueberry with moderate tannins that finishes warm and dry.

I like the Stags Leap Merlot as an alternative to their Cabernet Sauvignon for about half the price. Lovely spiciness with oak undertones a smooth finish
