Coming Soon To A Wine Shop Near You...

Well, it's only going in 8 states, so maybe not near you... but near me certainly. I got to taste the 2002 Faust Cabernet Sauvignon yesterday... This is a $50 retail Napa Cab... but oh my! Black currant (screaming out of the glass!), black plums (very plummy), a touch dusty, anise, and smoke with traces of cinnamon and clove hinting at the new French Oak. This is a blockbuster wine! It needs to settle down a little bit, but it's one heck of a drink! Did I mention it's from the family that makes Quintessa? And it's sourced from the Quintessa Vineyard? Outstanding... Worth seeking out.
