WINE DESCRIPTION
From two New Jersey natives comes a remarkable offering from Napa Valley. Faustini's journey began with sourcing grapes from the historic Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard for their initial test batch. They then enlisted Kian Tavakoli, an alum of Opus One and Clos du Val, to lead the winemaking. The outstanding environment in Napa provided the perfect foundation, resulting in an exceptional wine that's just beginning to show its potential. This wine promises to age beautifully over the next 10-20 years, reflecting the dedication and expertise behind its creation.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Faustini Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a deep, dark ruby color, indicating its concentration and intensity.On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark chocolate, with subtle hints of cedar and tobacco. These complex aromas are a testament to the careful selection of grapes and the meticulous winemaking process.
On the palate, this wine showcases a full-bodied and velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and balance. The flavors of ripe black fruits, such as black cherry and plum, are complemented by notes of vanilla, mocha, and a touch of spice. The wine's impressive depth and complexity linger on the finish, leaving a lasting impression.
