Fairchild Stones No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon, Les Pavots Vineyard, Napa Valley, California, USA 2011 2011

Description

Fairchild Stones No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 is a limited-production, single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon sourced exclusively from the acclaimed Les Pavots Vineyard in Napa Valley. Crafted by Fairchild Napa Valley, this wine reflects the power, elegance, and precision of one of the region's most prestigious vineyard sites.

The 2011 vintage opens with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cassis, graphite, cedar, violets, and dark cocoa. On the palate, layers of ripe dark fruit are complemented by notes of espresso, baking spices, and mineral nuances. Firm yet polished tannins and balanced acidity provide excellent structure, leading to a long, refined finish. With over a decade of bottle age, the wine has developed remarkable complexity while retaining freshness and elegance.

This collectible Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with dry-aged steak, rack of lamb, braised short ribs, venison, and aged cheeses.
