The 2017 CASK 23 combines the signature perfume notes of FAY vineyard with the structure and dark fruit of S.L.V. The wine opens with a rich berry medley and silky, layered aromas of dates, cocoa spice, cassis, black olive, and pomegranate. The palate is full in structure, yet balanced and persistent with a lush texture. Flavors of currant, dark cherry, and spice linger on the finish. Enjoy this CASK 23 with red wine braised Osso Buco & wild mushroom risotto, green olive crusted lamb rack with fennel & couscous or New York steak au poivre with honey & sherry glazed shallots.

Judges Selection [GFW21]

2021 Global Fine Wine Challenge

94 | Impressive fruit clarity and good concentration. Intense sweet fruit at the front of the palate. A full-fruited style. Youthful and assertive.

91 | Blackcurrant jam - slightly baked nose. Big and bold, bright fruited lots of vibrancy, good undercurrent of tannins but lacks layered complexity

86 | Ripe plum, slightly jammy. Soft rounded palate ripe fruit expression and soft tannin. Alcohol heat.

90 | Herbal, roasted walnut, dark fruits. Well concentrated textured wine. Tannins whiplash at the finish.
