Note di degustazione
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay is a very pretty wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. Succulent red-toned fruit, cedar, pipe tobacco, blood orange, incense, mocha and dried herbs show the gentle signs of aging. There's a bit more ripeness in the 2015 than is common these days, much of that attributable to late-season heat at the very end of ripening.

Next to the S.L.V., the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay is sensual, silky and polished, with lovely fruit purity to match its mid-weight personality. Although the Fay is less exuberant than the S.L.V., it offers better balance and a more harmonious expression of Stags Leap. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, cedar and dried flowers are nicely lifted throughout.
A barrel sample, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay Vineyard is deep garnet-purple in color with an earthy/herbal nose of black cherry and blackberry notions plus scents of incense, dusty earth and menthol. Full-bodied, rich and very earthy in the mouth, it offers plush tannins and a long, layered finish.
