Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Fay Hillside Estate Stag's Leap District Napa Valley 2020

“The wine is impressively juicy, with granular tannins that are soft and round. For a 2020—a challenging vintage in Napa—it is holding up remarkably well, showing full-bodied richness, velvety dark berry fruit, and savory sagebrush spice. Riper fig notes emerge on the long, succulent finish. Sourced from a block selection of hillside parcels closest to the Palisades.”

“This perfumed and perfectly balanced wine brings a little restraint to the table. Raspberry, blackberry and mint flavors are braced in a lively way by good fruit acidity and moderate tannins for a slight grip in the texture. The wine will be easily paired with savory, meaty dishes and worth cellaring. Best from 2025–2035.”
