Faust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (1.5L)

$9999

Faust is the Huneeus family's Napa Cabernet project, born in 2002 as a sibling to their flagship Quintessa. The 2021 leans heavily on their Coombsville estate vineyard in southeastern Napa, rounded out with fruit from Yountville, Oakville, and Rutherford. The result is classic California Cab in magnum format: full-bodied, plush, and built for the long haul. Black currant, blackberry, and steeped cherry come wrapped in a ganache-like richness, with enough tannin to age comfortably for another decade. The 1.5L bottle ages more slowly and pours more dramatically than a standard 750ml. Bring it to a dinner that matters.

"There are an impressive 50,000 cases of Faust's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon. Featuring upfront notes of Ribena-like cassis fruit accented by hints of cedar and vanilla, it's a full-bodied, generous effort that is softly dusty, plush and easy to drink now, but it has enough tannin to hold for at least another decade. It's a solid value." —Joe Czerwinski

Wine Spectator

"This 2021 bottling is sourced primarily from the estate’s Coombsville vineyard, located in the southeastern corner of Napa Valley. From a cool, late-ripening spot, Coombsville fruit is often blended with riper, more forward, up-valley fruit in order to add spine and definition to Napa Cabernets, and this is a prime example. Faust’s Coombsville site, certified organic in ’21, accounts for about half of the blend, along with fruit from Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford and other AVAs. In a category known for triple-digit prices, this is an emphatic answer to the Napa Cabernet value search. Packed and broad in feel, with a ganache note draped over blackcurrant, blackberry and steeped cherry. Licorice root and alder smoke flavors check in on the finish as the fruit pumps through, ending with a flash of violet. Hard to resist now, but this has some development ahead."

"Hefty and grippy, this full-bodied wine is sturdy in tannins, deep in black and blue fruits, and will come around nicely with more aging. Blackberries, blueberries, cocoa and hints of oak char make a good, complex expression on the palate."
