SC- Faust Cabernet Sauvignon

Founded by seasoned Chilean vintners Agustin Huneeus and his wife Valeria, FAUST embodies their lifelong dedication to the wine industry. With a wealth of connections to wine-growing regions worldwide, Agustin's career has been illustrious. In Napa Valley, he is renowned for establishing the esteemed winery Quintessa. Initially, FAUST wines were crafted at Quintessa, but production has shifted to neighboring Sonoma County. Plans are underway to produce limited-edition wines at their St. Helena property, utilizing the existing winery building.

FAUST constitutes a part of the Huneeus Vintners' diverse portfolio, alongside Napa Valley's Quintessa, Illumination (a highly exclusive Sauvignon Blanc sourced from a minute block on the Quintessa estate), Flowers Vineyards & Winery (based in Sonoma County), and Benton-Lane Winery (situated in Oregon's Willamette Valley). For comprehensive insights, refer to our separate review of Quintessa, including our experiences at their other estates.

"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."

-James Suckling, 95 Points

"Cabernet’s classic aromas and flavors star in the 2021 Faust Napa Valley. Delicate violet notes lift the dark fruit on the nose—black currant and briary blackberry—layered with pungent forest botanicals, leafy tobacco, graphite, and toasted spice. The velvet of fine-textured tannins backs expressive red fruit flavors on a complex palate, both sweet and savory with mocha and minerality, juicy ripe fruit and freshness."
