Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon FAY Hillside Stags Leap District 2020 750ml

Nathan Fay planted the first Cabernet Sauvignon in what became the Stags Leap District in 1961, and his vineyard, now part of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, remains one of Napa's most historic sites. The 2020 FAY includes a 2% splash of Cabernet Franc and spent 21 months in 85% new French oak. In a challenging Napa vintage, the estate produced a wine of real poise; Decanter praised its "balletic lightness balanced by muscular tension." Black cherry and blackberry fruit mingle with crushed red rock minerality and dried rose petals, carried by long, supple tannins and fine-boned acidity. James Suckling noted a broad, opulent texture. Enjoy now through the mid-2030s.
