A benchmark Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 FAY opens with a compelling bouquet of boysenberry, cassis, cherry pie and dark plum framed by hints of spice, cedar and subtle floral lift. The palate is medium-full to full-bodied with lush, polished tannins and rich layers of blackberry, blueberry and wild berry fruit, supported by elegant oak and savory mineral accents that culminate in a long, refined finish. Its structure and depth make it an exceptional match for herb-crusted lamb chops, grilled ribeye or short ribs, mushroom-rich pasta and aged hard cheeses — dishes that stand up to its concentrated fruit and firm tannic backbone. Critics have lauded this vintage with high scores across the board reflecting both its power and finesse.
