- On Sale
From the makers of Quintessa Estate comes Faust Cabernet Sauvignon. This beautiful winery adjacent to the Silverado Trail south of St. Helena boasts Michel Rolland as its consulting winemaker and he is undeniably responsible for increased quality. For Faust premium grape lots are selected from estate vineyards in Coombsville and Rutherford and mountain sourcing in Atlas Peak, Mount Veeder and Howell Mountain. The grapes were hand-picked, double-sorted and crushed, then cold-soaked and fermented in both French oak and stainless steel tanks. 83% Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. After an extended maceration and malolactic fermentation in barrel, Faust was aged for 19 months in 100% French oak, 30% new.
Faust is the #2 Cab on the Wine & Spirits Restaurant Survey of favorite wines.
James Suckling scored this 94 points saying "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."
