Haven't had a good Stags Leap in years. Don't know if it's the wine maker or the fruit. Used to love them back in the 80's. Same with Clos Du Val.

The Pomeral is one of the lighter ones. It also has some cabernet franc in it so not a "true" merlot.

I would have picked the Decoy for your group as you said they lean toward a fruit forward style.

If you ever get a chance to try Seven Hills let me know what you think.
