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.

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.
