The Coombsville AVA is Napa Valley's southernmost growing region for Cabernet Sauvignon, and Faust's estate was among its first vineyards planted in 1998. Nestled into the rocky ruins of an ancient caldera, volcanic soils and marine breezes from the nearby San Pablo Bay combine to offer polish and structure alongside consistent Napa ripeness. It is a special corner of Napa that allows us to fully express the land as we continue to pursue our craft of perfecting a modern classic.
WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS - "A savory streak leads the way, with a core of açaÃ, black currant and blueberry reduction notes following closely, while cool cast iron and graphite details lengthen the finish and offer a sense of place. This could use a touch of cellaring to round fully into form. Best from 2025 through 2035. Tasted twice, with consistent notes."
