From the Coombsville AVA in Napa Valley, and from our vineyards in Rutherford and Oakville, California, this wine has been aged for 19 months in 30% new French oak. Full-bodied, bold and lush, almost jammy with cassis, bright red and black fruit flavour, ripe plums and savoury herb flavours on the palate.
Cabernet Sauvignon jumps out of the glass with aromas of fresh black cherry and plum. Layers of savory cherry compote, earth, cedar and graphite are rounded out by a long finish with hints of dark chocolate, balanced acidity and minerality.
Food pairings: grilled lamb chops, Asian chicken salad, pork tenderloin.
Varieties: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot / Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot
Origin: Coombsville, Napa Valley, California, United States.
14.5% ABV

To express the complexity of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape and diversity of the Napa Valley, Faust seeks Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from Agustin’s family vineyards in Rutherford and Coombsville, Napa Valley's newest appellation located in the eastern foothills south of Atlas Peak. Agustin’s relationships with growers in other Napa Valley appellations, such as Yountville, Mount Veeder, Atlas Peak, St. Helena and Rutherford, round out the wine with small lots from these spectacular mountain and valley terroirs.

Faust is crafted at the Quintessa winery in Rutherford, a state-of-the-art winery with the most modern technologies. The grapes are hand-picked, double-sorted, gently crushed and fermented in stainless steel and French oak fermentation tanks. After cold-soak and fermentation, the must undergoes a maceration period that can last up to three weeks. Critical flavor, aroma and color compounds are extracted at this phase. The wine is then transferred to French oak barrels for an aging period of 19 months.
