Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Description
The 2021 Fay Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon offers fragrant and generous aromas with notes of boysenberry, Bing cherries, strawberry preserves, a touch of spice, cookie dough, and subtle floral notes. This wine exhibits a youthful, vibrant mouthfeel with a savory coating and lasting finish. Tannins are silky and persistent with lasting berry notes.
Wine Enthusiast: 98 Points
Savory, generous and impressive, this icon of a wine from the famed Fay vineyard flows through the mouth with flavors of cedar, sage and thyme. Richly flavored, concentrated and mouthwatering, this is a wine to savor. An impressive balance of succulent tannins and juicy acidity bring energy and great length.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Rich and caressing, with a lovely gilding of violet to its core of anise, boysenberry, blackberry and mulberry notes. The long, polished finish shows a suave kiss of toast. This gorgeous red is aimed at the hedonist crowd.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The blend for the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay Vineyard had not been finalized at the time of my visit, so take this barrel-sample note with an even larger grain of salt than usual. Aromas of redcurrants and purple raspberries appear on the nose, dressed up by some pretty floral-herbal nuances, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, finishing long and softly dusty, with hints of oak-derived mocha.
