WINE DESCRIPTION
The Stag's Leap District has long been considered too difficult for growing the Cabernet Sauvignon vine. The fact that the experiment had paid off was finally shown by the triumph at the legendary "Judgment of Paris" in 1976, when the Cabernet Sauvignon from Stag's Leap emerged as the tasting winner ahead of the French wines.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Stag's Leap Wine Cellars FAY Cabernet Sauvignon is a smooth and complex red wine, with a complex nose of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry.On the palate, it offers flavors of dark chocolate, clove, and coffee, with a lingering finish of black pepper and tobacco. Rich and concentrated, it has a rounded texture and a long, lingering finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent expression of the varietal and is a great choice to pair with flavorful dishes.
