Fay Hillside

2010 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Fay Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2010 vintage is a remarkable representation of Napa Valley's esteemed winegrowing prowess. This rich red wine showcases a full-bodied character that envelops the palate with a luxurious texture. Its high acidity adds a bright, mouthwatering liveliness, enhancing the overall experience and making it exceptionally food-friendly. The tannins are notably structured, offering a firm backbone that complements the striking fruit intensity. Aromas and flavors of dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, interlace with hints of cedar and spice, creating a harmonious profile. This wine is beautifully balanced, and while it leans toward the dryer spectrum, it retains a lush finish that beckons to be savored alongside rich dishes or enjoyed on its own.

Region:


Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
