Tasting notes
Similar in style to the 2022 with its perfumed red and black fruits, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a touch more density, with leafy tobacco, chocolate, and hints of iron all defining the aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, and textured, it has beautiful depth, balance, and length. Based on 83% Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller doses of Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, it was brought up for 22 months in French oak, 30% new. This impressive wine will drink nicely for 7-8 years. Drink 2025-2033.

Cedar, black cherries and loam appear on the nose of Faust's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, while the medium to full-bodied palate is welcoming and supple. Almost creamy in texture, it's an excellent, early-drinking Cab with soft tannins. Enjoy it over the next decade.
Blackberry, blackcurrant, graphite and tar aromas. Crushed stone, too. Full-bodied, yet firm, fresh and bright with a creamy, crunchy finish. One of the best values in Napa appellation designated reds. Drink or hold.
