Violets and toasted baking spice open on the nose of this 2022 Faust Napa Valley, with savory layers of slate and cedar joining in the background. Concentrated, perfectly ripe black cherry is spiced with the wine’s signature star anise and framed by fine, chalky tannins that unfold into richness on the palate. Mouthwatering freshness sustains the dance of fruit and minerality through a lingering finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Faust’s 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon features attractive aromas of dried herbs, pencil shavings, black cherries and cassis. It’s medium to full-bodied and rather easy-drinking, not overly concentrated or rich but with enough texture to make it a steakhouse staple.

• James Suckling: A bold, ripe and powerful red that’s also quite broad and smooth in texture. Aromas of rose petals, raspberries and red cherries, with deeper black cherries and blueberries on the mid-palate and finish.

Producer Information

Faust Wines is a Napa Valley wine producer, primarily producing a collection of varietal Cabernet Sauvignon wines.The 45 hectare (110 acre) estate vineyard is located in Coombsville, one of Napa’s cooler AVAs. This vineyard is composed of well-draining river rock and mineral-rich volcanic ash and is mostly planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with small amounts of Petit Verdot, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc. Faust also sources Cabernet Sauvignon from growers in other established Napa Valley AVAs including Yountville, Mount Veeder, St. Helena, Atlas Peak and Rutherford. The Faust Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship of the portfolio, complimented by The Pact and The Lure. These are limited-edition wines from specific vineyards, generally aged in a portion of new French oak as well as aged in bottle prior to release.
