More about the 2014 FAUST NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON: Faust stands as a distinguished member of the Huneeus Vintners family, a portfolio known for benchmark estates such as Quintessa and Flowers. From its inception, Faust has been guided by a clear philosophy: to craft Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects balance, structure, and a strong sense of place. The focus centers on its estate vineyard in Coombsville, complemented by select sites across Napa Valley, allowing the winery to express both the precision of a singular terroir and the breadth of the appellation. Coombsville occupies a unique position within Napa Valley as its southernmost appellation, where proximity to the San Pablo Bay brings cooler temperatures and extended growing seasons. These conditions slow ripening and preserve natural acidity, contributing a distinctly mineral-driven character and restrained structure to the wines. Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville is known for its composure and longevity, offering depth without excess and an underlying tension that rewards patience. The 2014 Faust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon captures these attributes with striking clarity. Shaped by a balanced, highly regarded vintage, the wine draws heavily from the Coombsville Estate, delivering a profile marked by freshness, definition, and layered intensity. Aged for approximately 20 months in oak, the wine gains polish and structure while maintaining the vibrancy of the fruit. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that feels both immediately compelling and built for evolution, offering a refined expression of cool-climate Napa Valley with poise, depth, and lasting presence.
