#6 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2026The wine offers a lifted bouquet of black cherries, persimmons, dates, and violets unfold with delicate floral accents. The palate is bright and expressive, showcasing vibrant energy and well-defined tension. Polished tannins frame the fruit gracefully, leading into a smooth, creamy finish that lingers with finesse.Blend: 99% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay is fabulous. Medium in body and deep, with notable energy, the 2023 is a hugely promising wine. Dark blue/purplish fruit, menthol, licorice, cloves and graphite are all finely sketched. This gracious, elegant wine is all class. This is lovely, with a slightly reserved feel to its steady, well-defined core of morello cherry and blackberry preserve notes that are inlaid prettily with savory, bay leaf and mesquite details. There's a steady iron ping reverbing through the fine-grained finish, adding extra length. Best from 2028 through 2043. The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay Vineyard is showing notably better from bottle than it did from barrel. A lovely example of a delicate, finesse-driven Cabernet, it features hints of violets, thyme and sage entwined with ripe black cherries. It's medium- to full-bodied and silky-textured on the palate, with a lingering finish framed by fine-grained tannins.
