Napa Valley
The wines of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars are described as "an iron fist in a velvet glove," referencing the artful balance between ripeness and restraint, as well as softness and structure.
This label is the golden child of one of the Napa Valley's First Growth estates, laden with accomplishments, including the 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon named as one of the Smithsonian's
"Objects that Made America." Equally as important is FAY Estate Cabernet, grown on the adjoining vineyard to S.L.V.
The FAY vineyard is where the Stag's Leap Wine Cellars' story began. Win this lot and you get to be one of the lucky few to commemorate this milestone for the winery with an up close and personal visit to Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, an experience not available to the public!
Established by pioneering grape grower Nathan Fay in 1961, it was the first planting of Cabernet Sauvignon in what is now the Stag's Leap District, capable of producing a wine that could rival the best in the world. FAY vineyard remains one the great Napa Valley vineyards, producing fruit with an abundance of supple red and blackberry character, voluptuous perfume, and a luscious, fine-grained texture.
With the release of the 2015 vintage, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars is celebrating 25 Years of FAY (the first vintage of FAY was 1990).
YOUR TRIP FOR FOUR INCLUDES:
- a three-night stay at the FAY House on the Stag's Leap Wine Cellars estate in Napa Valley (two rooms from Thursday to Sunday) set against the gorgeous backdrop of the historic FAY vineyard and the Stag's Leap Palisades
- dinner with Winemaker Marcus Notaro, with current releases and special gems from the library
- a Fire & Water Tour and Tasting, which includes a winery tour and seated tasting of their iconic, estate-grown wines
TO BE TAKEN HOME TONIGHT:
- one double magnum of each of the following Stag's Leap Wine Cellars FAY Cabernet Sauvignon vintages: 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and the 2015
