Tasting notes
Sourced from Coombsville, Faust's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon The Pact features scents of mint, cedar and cassis on the nose. It aged in 45% new French oak (Seguin-Moreau, Taransaud, François Frères), resulting in a wine that's full-bodied but structured, streamlined and focused. Mocha and dark chocolate emerge on the long, gently tannic finish. It's a well-struck drive, right down the middle of the fairway.

Smoky dark (almost blue) fruits, chocolate, sappy tobacco, and graphite notes all merge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon The Pact, a richly textured, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, structured 2021 that has the vintage's regal, balanced, pure style. It's beautifully made and will have 10-15 years of prime drinking.
