From The Winemaker
Faust Cabernet Sauvignon—a blend crafted primarily from our distinctive Coombsville vineyard estate complemented by fruit from other select vineyards, sets the bar each year for bold, elegantly balanced Napa Valley Cabernet. In 2022, warm temperatures leading into harvest revealed the distinct advantage of sourcing from cooler sites, especially our own cornerstone Faust Estate Vineyard, where we were able to lower ambient temperatures and raise humidity levels by deploying the sprinkler system to help mitigate heat events. Consequently, the fruit retained vibrant acidity underlying lovely intensity, creating a wine with pinpoint balance.
"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
