The 2014 Stag's Leap Fay is a single vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the USA's most iconic wineries. A full bodied red wine which is drinking beautifully after some time in bottle, showing rich, complex dark berry fruits and impressive length

Stag’s Leap is an iconic Californian winery that was founded  by former Robert Mondavi winemaker Warren Winiarski in the early 1970s. Stag’s Leap shot to fame when their wine triumphed in the legendary 1976 Judgement of Paris Tasting, which pitted Red Bordeaux and White Burgundies in a blind tasting against their US equivalents. Somewhat gallingly, especially as all but one of the tasters were French, the American wines won both categories.  Since then Stag’s Leap have cemented their position as one of the USA’s finest red wine producers, famed for the quality of their Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

 

Fay and SLV are two contrasting single vineyard expressions. Although the S.L.V. and FAY vineyards adjoin each other, the iconic Napa wines they produce carry expressly different aspects of the terroir. S.L.V. soils are predominantly volcanic in nature and contribute multi-layered structure, concentration, and spicy intensity, often referred to as the “fire” elements. FAY’s soils, more alluvial in makeup, yield more of the “water” elements of softness, perfume, and rich berry qualities.

 

Cask 23 is a combination of the best of each vineyard, while Artemis contains fruit sourced from a broader range of sources to provide a more accessible yet still extremely high quality expression of the estate.
