Napa Valley Red Blend

Dark ruby, almost inky in color, with a short reddish rim.

Very fruity nose of blackberries, cooked cherries, cedar, cooked plums, figs, raisins, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, cola, light earth, pencil lead and coffee.

Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity and long long legs.

Extremely fruity on the palate with blackberries, black plums, black cherries, raisins, figs, cedar, spices, licorice, peppercorn, cocoa, mocha, coffee and tobacco.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 7 year old red blend from Napa Valley is delicious now. Drinking very nicely right out of the bottle, and way better after 4 hours in the decanter.

Rich and extracted with a great mouthfeel. Would age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.

I had this vintage a couple of years ago, and this time it is so much better.

Thank you Wendy for sharing this with me.

Showing great complexity, but very fruity right now, and might be too much for some.

I paired it with cheeses and crackers.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

A Cab Sauv dominated blend that I tried twice 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!!

Dark ruby purple. Inviting nose of blackberry, cassis, and plum. Those dark purple fruits are echoed on the fruit-forward, full-bodied palate with dark anise on the finish. Medium tannins. Medium acidity. A classic California Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Tasty, but so are a lot of others in this range and lower. Drink now through 2024.

Drinking while chilling at home with Josh and the kids; Autumn loved the smell

Enjoyed at my birthday dinner. I wasn’t a huge fan but a few guests reallly liked this blend from Faust.

Excellent fruit forward Napa bomb. Delicious

The label says it all. Back on the horse...deep cherry, leather and a hint of eucalyptus. 🥊💣

This was one of those wines that was good right out of the gate. Nose has some smoked anise and dusty blue fruit. The fruit carries over in the taste. Little bit of cigar box and a touch of cherry. This was pretty well balanced and very smooth. Since the first sip was so good, only decanted for about 40 minutes. This is a well made bottle of wine.

Lots of oak, sweet and a bit pruny. I think I'm overgrowing this style
