Wowza. Now that’s a grosses gewachs.

Nose is intensely mineral almost smoky. So dense. As it opens less dense and more floral. White flowers.

Palate is densely mineral. Gods lemon. So good. A 9.5 on open. As it opens more of a sweet elegance. Approaching Faust test levels.

Blackberry, vegetal, herbal, with greenery. Some smokiness on the nose with black licorice. It's great to have an alternative of comparable quality to Napa Cabernet. In terms of $/points this punches way above its weight. To me, this is a very slightly better version of Faust Cab.

A powerful and expressive red blend from the Faust Estate Vineyard located in the Coombsville sub-AVA, Napa Valley. This is a 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot that generously offers a compelling level of red fruits with just-right-ripen cherries.
Both; the nose and palate concours on the concentrated flavors. It has a tremendous mouthfeel with a palpable high acidity, and spices, making it savory enough to either pair it with food or just having as a sipper.
This V.2021 was ranked #4 in Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2024. The 2021 vintage in Napa Valley was a result of the drought conditions, and the lower-than-average rainfall led to a mild spring/summer, that extended the development of the growing grapes and harvest period. So, wines were more powerful than compared to other recent vintages. Cheers! — 7 days ago

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Strong nose of black fruits with chocolate notes, cedar, vanilla and cola.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, cola, coffee, black pepper, dried figs, graphite, light earth, herbs and spices.

Long spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 6 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville is drinking beautifully now. Big and bold. Rich and extracted.

Well balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Fruit forward and elegant, with great complexity, especially on the palate.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers. This 2019 vintage is drinking much better now than it was two years ago. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Wine Spectator 93 points. Robert Parker 93 points.

A good sipping wine that will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

14.8% alcohol by volume.
