Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, established in 1970 with the purchase of the S.L.V. vineyard, achieved global recognition just six years later when its 1973 S.L.V. Estate Cabernet Sauvignon triumphed over top Bordeaux Chateaux at the Judgment of Paris blind tasting, cementing both the winery and Napa Valley as world-class wine producers. Today, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars serves as a benchmark for California Cabernet Sauvignon, offering unparalleled Napa Valley wine experiences that combine exceptional hospitality, stunning vineyard views, and some of the most sought-after wines in the world.

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay is 100% varietal, all from the Fay Vineyard in Stags Leap, and was brought up in 90% new French oak. It has a classic bouquet of blackcurrants, cedary spice, tobacco leaf, and damp earth. This rich, full-bodied, nicely concentrated 2014 has the vintage’s charming, forward style yet has enough mid-palate depth and ripe tannin to keep for two decades.

Lots of chocolate, wet-stone and currant aromas follow through to a full body that is tight and reined in. Very silky tannins that remain plush and enticing. Try in 2021.

The 2014s are not yet in bottle. As for the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay Estate-Grown, this has a similar saturated purple color, terrific presence on the palate, great ripeness, loads of minerality, floral notes and beautifully pure blackcurrant liqueur intermixed with licorice and spice. It is full-bodied and rich with well-integrated tannin and wood. This is another 20- to 25-year wine, but should drink well after its release.
