At Faust, we seek to express the complexity of Cabernet Sauvignon and the diversity of the Napa Valley by sourcing from our estate vineyards in Coombsville and Rutherford as well as from small lots on Atlas Peak, Mount Veeder and Howell Mountain. The culmination of these exceptional appellations results in a prodigious expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.
A Napa Valley Classic
The defining characteristics of Faust come from the backbone of fruit sourced from our own Coombsville Estate, complemented by grapes from hillside and cooler regions of the Napa Valley. This combination of fruit sourcing delivers the unmistakable richness and fruit intensity of our Cabernet Sauvignon.
“Very attractive aromas of blackcurrants, black olives and dark leather with some cedar. It’s full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and a refined, polished finish. Shows finesse and focus. Grows on the palate. Really delicious now, but will improve with age.”– Rated 94 Points, James Suckling
Faust was the #2 most popular Cabernet Sauvignon and #4 most popular restaurant wine brand in Wine & Spirits Restaurant Poll 2020.
When we planted our estate vineyards in 1998, we had the forsight into the potential of the Coombsville AVA. In 2011, Coombsville was finally recognized as an AVA and is now widely celebrated as a world class viticultural site and the heart of some of the region's most refined wines.
