Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Heart of FAY Stags Leap District 2021 750ml

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars was founded by Warren Winiarski, whose 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon took first place at the 1976 Judgment of Paris. The FAY vineyard next door was planted by Nathan Fay, the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon in what became the Stags Leap District, and Winiarski bought land beside it after tasting Fay's homemade wine. Heart of FAY is a limited selection from within that historic vineyard. The 2021 vintage was dry and low-yielding, producing concentrated Napa Cabernets with excellent structure. Expect the district's signature style: dark cherry and cassis, cocoa and spice, and plush yet firm tannins. Approachable now with decanting, it should age gracefully into the 2040s.
