Ripe black raspberries, dark cherries, cooked strawberries, pomegranate, coffee grounds, milk chocolate, gritty ground dark minerals, crushed dry rocks, just a touch of iron, soft leather, dry red florals and an elegant, round, dry black cherry fruit finish. For the most part, a member allocated wine. NV wine but bottled 2012. On the long decant, so ruby lush.

All the dry farmed goodness of FAY plus some Petit Verdot makes a really different Stag's Leap Wine in a spectacularly delicious way.
