Of the 1994 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars "Fay Vineyard" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Wine Spectator writes: "There's lots to admire in this Cab, with its core of currant, anise, cedar, sage and black olive flavors, and tannins that are firm but supple. Rich and concentrated, it's marked by more substance, depth and tannin than is the SLV bottling, if not as concentrated as the Cask 23. (JL)" (03/1998)

03/1998Notes
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars was founded in the early 1970s by the Winiarski family on land that would eventually become part of the Stags Leap AVA in Napa Valley. The Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend had its first vintage in 1972, and rose to rapid fame in 1976 when it beat out the likes of Mouton-Rothschild and Haut-Brion at the "Judgement of Paris" blind tasting that is widely credited with putting California's wine industry on the map. The Fay vineyard was established by Nathan Fay in 1961. This historic vineyard's soils, a combination of rich, waterborne alluvial earth and volcanic rock, have yielded wines marked by voluptuous perfume and radiant berry flavors, with a personality markedly different from the wines of neighboring S.L.V.

The Fay vineyard was established by Nathan Fay in 1961. This historic vineyard's soils, a combination of rich, waterborne alluvial earth and volcanic rock, have yielded wines marked by voluptuous perfume and radiant berry flavors, with a personality markedly different from the wines of neighboring S.L.V. Purchased by Stag's Leap Wine Cellars in 1986, FAY became the source of a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon with the 1990 vintage. It sits alongside S.L.V. and CASK 23 in the winery's estate Cabernet lineup.
