Still quite dark crimson

exotic and enticing

licorice and chocolate

and sappy garrigue-like nuances all emerge from this medium to full-bodied effort that has outstanding purity of fruit

full and sweet flavors that are mouth coating but not as detailed and minerally as the Les Vergelesses

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, Fay Vintage:2012 Still quite dark crimsonThis wine has both elegance and finesse, expressing creamy aromas of fine oak and cigar box accompanied by fresh, juicy dark fruits. Five spice, menthol, harmonious cherry and a raspberry hint give a complex yet balanced red fruit character. Founded in 1970 and winner of the best red wine in the 1976 Judgement of Paris tasting, this is one of Napas first growths.
