Faust Napa Valley 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, $43.99-$64.99, 92 points, pour a high-clarity ruby red with a violet sheen, moderately broad meniscus, and sticky stained legs.
Aromas showed a bit of cedar and cinnamon but were predominately herbal, fruity, earthy, and floral, quite lovely!
Faust produced another full-bodied dry red wine with all the good earmarks of a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon; flavors echoed the aromas but were a bit overwhelmed with mulberry, yet with good acidity, round supportive tannins, a lovely hint of cayenne, and rich black fruit nuances, still a very impressive offering.
Finished long with hints of black plums, fig, chocolate, more warm spice, and a well-balanced 14.9% alcohol.
Paired fine with spice-rubbed rib eye.
