Description

From the 26 main Cabernet Sauvignon blocks within the FAY Vineyard, winemaker Marcus Notaro selected blocks 10A and 12A to create this FAY Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes for this wine are from the highest blocks on the hill, those that typically contribute to CASK 23 each year. The blocks are closest to the Stags Leap Palisades and its volcanic soils. We call these the “power blocks” as they are the backbone of the FAY Vineyard. The clusters are very loose with lots of air flow around each berry and the yields are low. The small berries give the wine intense flavors, deep saturation and great grip with the signature perfume expression of FAY. 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. For more than 30 years, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars has produced a single-vineyard FAY Cabernet Sauvignon. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon offers the signature perfume expression of FAY with a rich and dense structure. Your wine is aging for 21 months in 100% new French oak barrels.
