Description

FAY Block 2A is a special Cabernet Sauvignon block which contributes to our flagship CASK 23 most years. The block, located in the lower portion of this famed estate vineyard, is the highest density planting (resulting in very low yield per vine) in FAY Vineyard and produces a very fragrant wine with great concentration and intensity. Crafting this Cabernet Sauvignon is very labor intensive as the wine is fermented in new oak barrels, with the heads taken off, and the wine is punched down by hand four times a day. This technique brings more oxygen into the wine, creating distinct aromatics and a lush texture with long length. The FAY Vineyard is where the story of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars began. Established by pioneering grapegrower Nathan Fay in 1961, it was the first planting of Cabernet Sauvignon in what is now the Stags Leap District nested appellation. For more than 30 years, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars has produced a single-vineyard FAY Cabernet Sauvignon. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is highly aromatic and fruit-driven with blackberry and currant flavors. The palate is rich and silky and pronounced in its concentration and intensity.
