Stags Leap Wine Cellars FAY Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Napa Valley

Stags Leap Wine Cellars FAY Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Napa Valley – The FAY vineyard is where the Stags Leap Wine Cellars story began. Established by pioneering grape grower Nathan Fay in 1961, it was the first planting of Cabernet Sauvignon in what is now the Stags Leap District. At the time, conventional wisdom maintained that the area was too cool for Cabernet Sauvignon. But tasting Nathan Fays homemade Cabernet in 1969 was a defining moment for the founder of Stags Leap Wine Cellars. Here was land capable of producing a wine that could rival the best in the world. Within a year an adjoining ranch, now known as S.L.V., was purchased. And, in 1986, the winery purchased Nathan Fays vineyard and named it FAY in his honor. The first vintage of a single vineyard FAY Cabernet Sauvignon was 1990.
