Fay Apologue

2010 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Fay Apologue Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2010 vintage is a remarkable expression of Napa Valley's esteemed terroir. This wine captures attention with its deep, vibrant red color and offers a bouquet rich in aromas of dark fruits, such as blackcurrant and plum, complemented by hints of cedar and spice. On the palate, the wine presents a full-bodied profile, presenting a luxurious mouthfeel and an impressive balance between its bright acidity and structured tannins, which together create a mouthwatering experience. The fruit intensity is pronounced, showcasing the varietal's character beautifully, while the finish remains long and satisfying, leaving a delightful trail of berry and oak notes. This Cabernet Sauvignon is decidedly dry, making it an excellent companion for hearty dishes or simply enjoyed on its own.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
