Drank 10/6/23. Tasting event.

Scents if Black fruit, earth. On the palate, similar to the ornellaia, but lacking some of the structure and intensity.

2001 | Cabernet Sauvignon
Stags Leap Wine Cellars; FAY
(94.83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.74% Merlot, 1.43% Petit Verdot)
Napa Valley; California, USA
(92-94; Drink 2016-31)

3H decant, much more time required, this will be a great day two wine. 

Winery note, for good context/history:
FAY was originally planted to Cabernet Sauvignon in 1961, the introduction of the varietal to the area now designated as the Stags Leap District. When we acquired the property from Nathan Fay in 1986 many of the vines were therefore over a quarter-century old. The replanting of most of this historic vineyard was completed in the mid-1990s, and those vines are now in their prime, producing an abundance of excellent fruit with the rich flavor and elegant texture that have always characterized FAY Cabernet. But the old vines of Block 8-planted by Fay in 1973 and a source of expressive fruit that is a key component of CASK 23-were not removed until after the 2002 harvest. The 2001 vintage is therefore one of the last to include fruit from the "original" Block 8. — 6 months ago

a little jammy out of the bottle, but smoothed out nicely given some time to breath; think I’ll decant the next bottle to accelerate the process; decent value at $23 — a year ago
