Faust Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021

For years now, we’ve been leaning hard on the winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. First, we offered Leviathan. Then, we had a rare allocation of Quintessa. Both at exceptional prices. But those offers pale in comparison to today’s final act, a two-for-one offer of “Baby Quintessa”, from project Faust, priced to be scooped up by the case. Don’t miss it. 

Similar to the team at Quintessa (Michel Rolland/Andy Erickson) minus Rebekah Wineburg but with Charles Thomas (Opus One) and David Jelinek (Copain/Prisoner/Groth). The vineyard source out of this world – a little slice of heaven on the foothills of Atlas Peak in Coombsville. The wine is aged and bottled at Quintessa’s state-of-the-art winemaking facility. 

Both have all the vineyard pedigree and winemaking prowess of Quintessa. They always receive the same big scores and positive press as their big name brother, but at prices that Napa rarely sees anymore for wines of this caliber. Then you have this one as #4 wine of the year, this year. So I don’t expect these will last long!
