Absolutely fabulous wine. Rich mouth feel, great flavors and very smooth. Wonderful pairing with meat, particularly the balsamic braised short ribs I made. A beautiful wine.

More complex secondary flavors than fruit. Aromas of violets, cloves and pencil shavings. Plush flavors of chocolate and cassis end in a savory brooding finish. Best of the day.

More muscular than typical Fay with good richness, black fruit and the impressive Stags Leap structure that stays on the palate. Just right.

This has aged very well, but it could probably stand even more time. Super smooth with very light and subdued tannins. Black cherry and dark fruit. A great vintage from a stellar winemaker.

Rich flavor and elegant texture, with an intense perfume and flavors of dark red fruit, lavender and violets accented by sweet oak and a ribbon of vanilla.

California cab. Smooth finish. Nice balance on acidity and tannins. Nice fruit on the nose

Fantastic cab Sauvignon! Deep in rich berry and earthy tones. Pricey but well worth it!
