Fay Hillside

2011 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Fay Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2011 vintage is a remarkable expression of Napa Valley's rich terroir. This red wine showcases a deep garnet color, hinting at its intensity. The body is full, offering a robust mouthfeel that perfectly balances its high acidity, which is bright and mouthwatering. Prominent fruit intensity brings forth luscious notes of blackberry and blackcurrant, complemented by subtle hints of oak and spice. The tannins are firm yet approachable, contributing to the wine's structured profile. Its overall dryness makes it incredibly versatile, pairing well with hearty dishes or enjoyed on its own.

Region:

Napa County

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.
