Faust
Salvation Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
A Cab Sauv dominated blend that I tried several vintages at tastings, consistent notes. Deep Ruby with berry fruit aromas and earthy herb pepper. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum, savory with dried herbs, earthy black pepper and meaty tones. Dusty rustic grippy tannins, medium finish ending with earthy pepper oak. Too Pricey! Not that good for $75!! Better off with Faust Cab for $50!!

A powerful and expressive red blend from the Faust Estate Vineyard located in the Coombsville sub-AVA, Napa Valley. This is a 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot that generously offers a compelling level of red fruits with just-right-ripen cherries.
Both; the nose and palate concours on the concentrated flavors. It has a tremendous mouthfeel with a palpable high acidity, and spices, making it savory enough to either pair it with food or just having as a sipper.
This V.2021 was ranked #4 in Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2024. The 2021 vintage in Napa Valley was a result of the drought conditions, and the lower-than-average rainfall led to a mild spring/summer, that extended the development of the growing grapes and harvest period. So, wines were more powerful than compared to other recent vintages. Cheers!
