2018 OVERVIEW

Deeply scented and gracefully powerful, this 2018 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Fay Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon layers ripe blackcurrant, plum and blueberry fruit with hints of sweet baking spice and a gentle earthy savor. The palate is polished and expansive yet poised, with refined, silky tannins and vibrant acidity giving focus to the long, resonant finish.

About Fay Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

FAY Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is one of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars’ flagship estate wines from the historic FAY Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Stags Leap District, the first Cabernet Sauvignon planting in that area and purchased by the winery in 1986. Typically crafted as (nearly) 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged in 100% new French oak, it is known for its supple red and black berry fruit, floral perfume, and silky, fine-grained tannins that showcase the vineyard’s elegance in contrast to the more powerful S.L.V. bottling.
