STAG'S LEAP WINE CELLARS FAY - 2001

It is my birthday today so I celebrated it by opening up a terrific bottle of Cabernet. Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Fay from Napa Valley is approximately 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot.

TASTING NOTES:

Lush and sleek with sharp acidity, the mid-palate tastes just like biting into a fresh plum. There are nice creamy vanilla hints on the finish and waves of currant and smoky oak that linger on the tongue.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

I love this wine. It is not as impressive as the 2002 FAY, but still a luxurious Cabernet with finesse, character, and power. The scent of this wine is alluring. A terrific sipping wine that keeps you sniffing the glass even when it's empty.
