Product details
The 2021 Faust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterful expression of classic Cabernet aromas and flavors. Its bouquet is rich with notes of black currant, briary blackberry, and hints of violet, beautifully layered with forest botanicals, tobacco leaf, graphite, and toasted spice. On the palate, this wine delivers a harmonious balance of sweet and savory elements, where mocha and minerality blend with ripe, juicy fruit. Fine-textured tannins provide a velvety structure, enhancing the complexity and freshness of this bold yet elegant Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Faust is crafted with care, selecting top Cabernet Sauvignon lots from prime Napa vineyards, including the renowned Rutherford area and the emerging Tulocay region near Atlas Peak. These vineyards are managed for low yields, ensuring concentrated flavors in the grapes. The winemaking process at the state-of-the-art Quintessa winery, where the grapes are double-sorted and fermented in oak, showcases the meticulous attention to detail that defines Faust wines. The result is a powerful yet refined Cabernet that embodies the rich Napa Valley style, making it a perfect companion for fine dining experiences.
