FAUST CABERNET SAUVIGNON NAPA VALLEY 2021

95 POINTS, James Suckling. "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."

Violet notes lift the dark fruit on the nose—black currant and briary blackberry—layered with forest botanicals, tobacco, graphite, and toasted spice. The velvet of fine-textured tannins backs expressive red fruit flavors on a complex palate, with both savory mocha and minerality, juicy ripe fruit and freshness.
