The Fay Cabernet Sauvignon from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, hailing from Napa Valley, offers an intense yet balanced aromatic profile. On the nose there are notes of ripe red fruits and darker elements suggesting plum and black cherry, accompanied by subtle floral hints and a touch of spice. The structure is full without being overbearing: tannins are present and defined, acidity supports the sip, and the flavor progression remains clean and harmonious through the finish. Overall it conveys a sense of controlled concentration and finesse that makes the wine approachable for those seeking clear fruit and good drinkability.

It pairs well with red meats, roasts and hard cheeses, and can also stand up to flavorful dishes with mushrooms or game. For those who prefer to soften the initial impression, decanting is advisable; serve slightly cool at around 16–18 °C. Suited to enthusiasts who appreciate a Cabernet with recognizable regional character and a measured interpretation of fruit and structure.

Winery history
The winery was founded with the purchase of the S.L.V. vineyard and the establishment of the estate in the 1970s; its international renown rose when the 1973 Cabernet S.L.V. took first place in the blind tasting at the 1976 Judgment of Paris. Over time the estate has expanded its vineyards and developed a range of estate and single-vineyard bottlings that have consolidated its reputation.
Production philosophy
Production focused on showcasing the character of the terroir: balanced wines combining structure and finesse, crafted to express the typicity of individual vineyards and suitable for aging.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Stags Leap District of the Napa Valley AVA, the winery works with historic vineyards such as S.L.V. and FAY, facing the Stags Leap Palisades in a climate typical of the valley, with diurnal temperature variations that favor ripening and acidity.
Awards and recognitions
Winner at the 1976 Judgment of Paris with the 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet; a bottle of that 1973 was included in the Smithsonian's collection.
