Fay Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Fine but so masked by oak it will take 5 more years I'd that's not what you want to slurp today.

Nov 7th, 2016Pretty tasty...can't hate. Dark red fruit, good structure, smooth yet gripping tannin.

Dec 19th, 2022Herbaceous and savory. Love how these age even with 7 years , much of the fruit has already started to transform into smoke and charcuterie. Pepper notes alongside light vanilla and blackberry. Very acid driven and great tannins for aging. 14.5%

Feb 12th, 2021The many years of cellaring have definitely softened the edges of this wine. I’m surprised at the lack of nose elements but all of the flavor is still there. What a delightful special occasion wine this is after 20+ years. Tonight I’m celebrating not going into work in the morning! The oak is really prevalent and a surprising lack of tannins present themselves in this wonderful wine. One of the best wines I’ve had in a while.
