Winery notes

"This ARMILLARY Red Blend is crafted especially for our wine club members. An armillary is a metal cage around a globe consisting of a spherical framework of rings representing lines of celestial longitude and latitude, as well as other astronomically important features. As the FAY and S.L.V. Estate Vineyards are the center of our world at Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, a concentrated blend of the two could be considered our armillary, guiding and influencing everything we do."

"ARMILLARY is 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc from FAY and S.L.V. made in a bold style with notes of chocolate and sweet berries that will age well over time. Individual lots are blended early in the fermentation process to enable the flavors to marry together during the aging process. The wine is 78% FAY and 22% S.L.V. and was aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Bottled without filtration."

"This wine opens with dark fruit aromas with hints of licorice, baking spice, chocolate and sweet tobacco. Rich and structured on the palate, the wine has a lasting full-bodied finish with persistent flavors of dark fruit."
