2018 FAY Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2018 FAY Cabernet Sauvignon offers fragrant aromas of boysenberry, cherry pie, cassis, sweet spice and a touch of gardenia. The wine has a velvety mouthfeel with a well-balanced structure supported by lush polished tannins and flavors of blackberry and blueberry. The finish is smooth and lingering. Crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine was aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Winemaker Marcus Notaro used careful barrel selection to enhance the fruit expression and texture. The FAY vineyard, established in 1961, was the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon in what is now the Stags Leap District, and its iron-rich volcanic soils and cooler microclimate contribute to the wine's classic red fruit tones, expressive perfume, and fine-grained texture.
