Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Fay Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

This wine opens with the scent of sweet spices. Anise, nutmeg and allspice are framed around red cherry aromas. Firm and focused ?avors of dark plum and cherry broaden across the back-palate to an expansive density of fruit.

The FAY vineyard is the land where the story of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars began back in 1969 when Warren Winiarski tasted Nathan Fay's 1968 homemade Cabernet. Warren knew, instantly, that he had found what he was searching for—classic elements of fruit and structure, suppleness and balance. It was a style that Warren refers to as "an iron fist in a velvet glove." As luck would have it, an adjoining prune orchard was for sale. The Winiarski's purchased the land and planted a vineyard—now known as S.L.V. — and soon after, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars was born.
