A gorgeous deep garnet red, the 1992 FAY Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits an intense perfume of dark red fruit, lavender, violets and a hint of butterscotch. Concentrated flavors of lush red plum, black cherries, licorice, and subtle forest floor are accented by sweet oak and a ribbon of vanilla. It is beautifully balanced, with a soft entry, expansive fruit flavors and a long, flavorful finish. With its mouthwatering aromas, luscious flavors and supple texture, the 1992 FAY would pair beautifully with seared Magret duck breasts with pan roasted fingerling potatoes and a wild mushroom ragout.
