#1 - Faust Cabernet Sauvignon
The defining characteristics of Faust come from the backbone of fruit sourced from the winery's 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 their Cabernet Sauvignon. Through relentless exploration, Faust's winemakers are always in pursuit of the undeniable quality and unique style, fitting of a modern Napa Valley classic.
Aromas of Chocolate and black cherry are complemented with layers of savory black cherry tart and notes of tarragon. Faust’s bright acidity is combined with mineral notes and fine grained tannins resulting in a long memorable finish.
#2 - Montepeloso Cabernet Sauvignon
A little oaky on first nose, the 2013 A Quo is a robust red blend based primarily on Montepulciano, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. The quality of the primary fruit is succulent, plump and rich. So are the background aromas of cinnamon, vanilla bean and toasted almond. This was a good vintage across Tuscany. The finish is exceedingly rich and supple with firmly yielding tannins. Give this wine a year or two to find greater harmony in the bottle. Those oak notes still need to integrate.
