2021 Faust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

sold out
#4 Wine of the Year from The Wine Spectator 2024
2021 Faust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon....$45.99 / 750ml

Packed and broad in feel, with a ganache note draped over black currant, 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. Drink now through 2036.
Rated 94/100 The Wine Spectator
Inviting aromas of ripe blackcurrants and blackberries as well as crushed walnuts, cedar and bark. Full-bodied, creamy and structured with firm, polished tannins. Balanced and even with a lingering finish. Better after 2026.
Rated 95/100 James Suckling
