Faust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

NAPA VALLEY CABERNET
Faust Cabernet Sauvignon is our statement about what a cutting-edge Napa Valley Cabernet
can-and should-be. In 2020, we achieved the Holy Grail of balance between richness and freshness with a blend of
fruit from our cool Coombsville vineyard (always the core of the Faust blend) with carefully selected, complementary
lots from other cool sub-regions in the valley. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon with broad varietal character,
including appealing herbal notes with its generous ripe fruit, and depth and texture not often found in this price
range.
THE WINE
"Aromas of fresh herbs, pungent cedar, and forest swirl in the glass with more delicate floral notes, black pepper,
bittersweet chocolate, and crushed rock. On the palate, a little brambly-vine quality clings to blackberry flavors, and
warmly spiced dark plum is layered with fresh herbs for a lively, sweet-savory balance. Fine tannins yield satisfyingly
rich, velvety textures, while vibrant acidity keeps you coming back for another sip." - David Jelinek, Winemaker
