Description
The FAY vineyard is where the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars story began. Established by pioneering grape grower Nathan Fay in 1961, it was the first planting of Cabernet Sauvignon in what is now the Stags Leap District.
VINTAGE
The second consecutive year of very dry conditions during winter and spring, coupled with challenging weather during bloom, resulted in a reduction in yield and more variability in the size of the clusters. A near-perfect summer of classic Napa Valley weather – moderate temperatures during the day and cool sea breezes in the afternoon and evening – resulted in balanced structure. Early September saw a mini heat wave that pushed ripeness along, then a return to beautiful weather for the remainder of harvest. The 2021 vintage is one of the highest quality we’ve seen in the last decade.
TASTING NOTES
The 2021 FAY Estate Cabernet Sauvignon offers fragrant and generous aromas with notes of boysenberry, Bing cherries, strawberry preserves, a touch of spice, cookie dough, and subtle floral notes. This wine exhibits a youthful, vibrant mouthfeel with a savoury coating and lasting finish. Tannins are silky and persistent with lasting berry notes.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Try pairing this estate-grown Cabernet with Maitake mushroom risotto, maple-glazed salmon or grilled buffalo burgers with caramelised onion & Havarti cheese.
