Stag’s Leap FAY Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Most of the grapes for the FAY Cabernet Sauvignon come from the middle and lower plots of the Fay vineyard, where they develop the characteristic red fruit aromas particularly beautifully and intensively. Only a small portion of just under 10% comes from the rows of vines planted to the east, which give the blend a little more power and fullness. All the grapes are vinified separately by parcel, only now are they blended into the FAY blend and left to mature for 18 months in French oak barrels (80% new, 20% single-oak) to develop the unique balance of juicy fruit, power and elegance that characterizes the FAY Cabernet Sauvignon so unmistakably.

The Stag's Leap FAY Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep ruby to plum red color. The American red wine delights with its classic FAY bouquet with dense, juicy, fruity aromas of sweet cherries, plums and blackcurrants, elegantly underpinned with finely spiced oak notes, hints of sandalwood, licorice, flowers and forest floor (moss, undergrowth).

On the palate, this first-class Cabernet Sauvignon is powerful, juicy, fruity (sweet ripe cherries, plums), with gentle notes of caramel and spices that subtly emphasize the fruity character of the wine. Firmly structured yet gentle, with an elegant balance of silky tannins and fresh, natural acidity - accessible at an early stage thanks to the dominant fruit, yet with promising ageing and maturation potential.

This dry red wine is an excellent accompaniment to pink roast duck breast with cherry sauce, stuffed pigeon with black olives, roast lamb or leg of lamb with herbs and spicy mature cheeses.

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars

Das Napa-Valley ist die Weinbauregion Kaliforniens. Es hat sich seine berühmten Namen gemacht durch die Produktion außergewöhnlicher Cabernet Sauvignon. Auch das Weingut Stag's Leap gehört in den illustren Kreis der Produzenten ganz besonderer Cabernet Sauvignon Weine. Im Jahre 1893 wurde das Weingut gegründet und seit 1970 befand es sich in den Händen von Warren und Barbara Winiarski. Bereits 1976 sorgten die Weine von Stag's Leap bei der berühmten Blindverkostung in Paris für ungeheures Aufsehen, als sie sofort erste Plätze eroberten. Der Cabernet Sauvignon, der seinerzeit siegte, wuchs auf noch nicht einmal 4 Jahre alten Weinbergen. Stags Leap steht für außergewöhnliche und qualitativ hochwertige Spitzen-Weine. Das Weingut gehört, besonders beim Cabernet Sauvignon, zur Weltspitze. Bei der Blindprobe 2005 bestätigte Stag's Leap seine Position.

Im August 2007 verkaufte Winiarski das Weingut. Der Tabak und Lebensmittelkonzern Altria besitzt heute rund die Hälfte des erfolgreichen Weingutes, was der Qualität keinen Abbruch tat. Schließlich blieb die erfolgreiche Mannschaft bei Stag's Leap zusammen. Der Arcadia-Weinberg ist heute noch im Besitz der Familie Winiarski und auf Vertragsbasis produzieren sie weiterhin Wein.

On the palate, the wine is powerful, intense and firmly structured, yet with the classic elegance of Stag's Leap.
