Faust, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, United States 3L 2018

Description

Winemaker Notes
Aromas of Chocolate and black cherry are complemented with layers of savory black cherry tart and notes of tarragon. Faust's bright acidity is combined with mineral notes and fine grained tannins resulting in a long memorable finish.

James Suckling 94
Very attractive aromas of blackcurrants, black olives and dark leather with some cedar. Its full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and a refined, polished finish. Shows finesse and focus. Grows on the palate. Really delicious now, but will improve with age. Drink or hold.

Wine Enthusiast 92
Blended with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, this full-bodied, highly expressive red is made from Coombsville estate grapes as well as grapes from sites in Rutherford and Oakville. It presents concentrated, burly black-fruit notes tempered by savory clove, espresso, leather and toasted oak

Wine Spectator 92
Distinctive, with sweet bay leaf, sassafras and a sanguine note all taking the lead, while a core of gently mulled red currant and blackberry fruit follows. Shows a nice herbaceous/brambly energy through the finish. Drink now through 2028
