Experience the wine that started it all in the Stags Leap District. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for iconic Napa Valley wines, is honored to present the Stags' Leap Wine Cellars FAY Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. This estate-grown Cabernet is a tribute to history, terroir, and the pioneering spirit of Nathan Fay, the man who first planted Cabernet Sauvignon in this now-legendary region in 1961.
The FAY Vineyard is one of the most celebrated plots of land in Napa Valley. Located in the Stags Leap District, the vineyard is distinguished by its alluvial soils, which yield wines of softness, perfume, and lush berry character. This specific bottling captures the essence of that terroir, offering a classic "iron fist in a velvet glove" profile that defines the house style.
Crafted with meticulous care, this Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in French oak, adding structure and spice to the abundant fruit. It is a wine of elegance and refinement, capable of aging gracefully for decades or being enjoyed now for its plush, inviting texture.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: An expressive and perfumed bouquet. Aromas of violet and red cherry leap from the glass, followed by deeper notes of blackberry pie, cinnamon, and a hint of sandalwood and vanilla.
Palate: Rich, plush, and velvety. The palate is awash with flavors of ripe raspberry, boysenberry, and fig, layered with notes of nutmeg and cocoa. The tannins are fine-grained and silky, a hallmark of the FAY vineyard.
Finish: Long, complex, and harmonious. The finish lingers with notes of dark fruit, subtle oak spice, and a refreshing mineral touch.
Food Pairing: This wine is the perfect companion for rich dishes. Pair it with a grilled ribeye steak, rack of lamb with rosemary, or a savory wild mushroom risotto.
