2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay Vineyard

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay comes from a single vineyard in the Stags Leap District and is based on almost 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (there can be a splash of Cabernet Franc) that spent 21 months in new French oak. It's a sensational wine (as are all these 2021s from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars) that has full-bodied richness and depth, flawless overall balance, and complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed stone, spicy oak, iron, and liquid flowers. Concentrated, deep, and layered, with a regal, structured style, it needs to be forgotten for 5-7 years and will keep for 30+ years.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay Vineyard boasts oodles of red-berried fruit accented by complex herbal nuances. The redcurrant and cherry notes lead into a medium to full-bodied palate that's silky in texture, framed by fine-grained tannins and finishing long and elegantly.

This is tight, concentrated and youthful, harnessing power in a polished package. It goes deep in black fruit, espresso beans and 90% cacao flavors. Intricately woven with fine-grained tannins and a full body for a focused, linear expression that will carry it for decades to come. Not too tight to enjoy sooner, but best from 2029.
