93 Points The Wine Independent
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon features scents of fresh blackcurrants, blueberries, and black raspberries, plus suggestions of pencil shavings and black olives. Full-bodied, the palate bursts with evocative black fruit flavors, supported by grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing on a ferrous note.
92 Points Int'l Wine Review
The 2022 Faust Napa Valley Cabernet with aromas of ripe black cherries, blackberries, and a touch of cassis woven together with earthy nuances and spices that lend depth and intrigue. The wine’s structure is medium-full and velvety, with well-integrated tannins that promise aging potential. A beautifully balanced Cabernet that should drink lovely over the course of the next decade.
92 Points James Suckling
A bold, ripe and powerful red that’s also quite broad and smooth in texture. Aromas of rose petals, raspberries and red cherries, with deeper black cherries and blueberries on the mid-palate and finish.
90 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Faust's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon features attractive aromas of dried herbs, pencil shavings, black cherries and cassis. It's medium to full-bodied and rather easy-drinking, not overly concentrated or rich but with enough texture to make it a steakhouse staple.
Winemaker Notes
Faust Cabernet Sauvignon—a blend of their Coombsville vineyard fruit with lots from other cool sites in the valley—sets the bar for elegant balance in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
The wine is deliciously versatile, with generously ripe fruit that makes it an appealing sip on its own, but also enough lively acidity to make it an ideal partner for a range of foods.
