The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay Vineyard offers a perfumed nose marked by delicate purple raspberry notes and a touch more herbal, tea-like nuances than the 2018. It's medium to full-bodied in the mouth but delicate and elegant, with a long, silky finish.

Unlike many prior vintages, which often include a small proportion of Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay Vineyard is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Despite being aged exclusively in new French oak, the nose shows only hints of pencil shavings and vanilla, with the primary aromas being violets, redcurrants and cherries. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, silky, fine and elegant, with a long, gently oaky finish.
