95 Points - Robert Parker. "The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay Estate-Grown comes from a vineyard established by Nathan Fay in 1961. Beautiful blackcurrant, floral-infused fruit jumps from the glass of this dense ruby/purple wine. There are some loamy underpinnings of soil, but the wine is medium to full-bodied, beautifully fruited, with great texture, and terrific purity and personality. This is a serious and beautiful wine to drink over the next 20-25 years, if not longer."

"Rich, ample and seductive, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Fay is impressive. Ripe, noble tannins, bright red-toned fruit and notable creaminess give the Fay its air of total sophistication. The 2013 vintage produced mostly huge, structured wines, but if there is one Cabernet I might be tempted to open a bit on the early side, the Fay might be it. Once again, the sheer gracefulness of Fay speaks with eloquence. (AG) " (12/2016)
