Very solid Cabernet here, with punchy energy to its dark currant and blackberry preserve core that leads leading the way, while licorice, alder and tobacco and bay accents fill in throughout. A late cast iron notes peeks out on the finish adding length and range. Approachable, but no rush. Drink now through 2036. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

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. Tobacco leaves and wild sage, too. Full-bodied. Drink now or hold.

Based on 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 20 months in 25% new French oak, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is solid, offering earthy red and black fruits intermixed with leafy underbrush, tobacco, and chocolate. It's medium to full-bodied, has a balanced mouthfeel, and shows the more structured style of the vintage with outstanding length. Drink this well-made effort over the coming 10-12 years. Drink 2025-2037.

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.

Spiced (mostly red) fruits, flowers, and baking spice notes define the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, a medium-bodied, very soft, supple, and front end-loaded effort with a nicely balanced, charming mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a good finish. Based on 86% Cabernet Sauvignon complemented with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, it was aged 20 months in French oak, 25% new. It's upfront and ready to go. Drink 2025-2030.

A friendly style, with a mix of up-front blueberry, açaí and boysenberry compote notes that show just enough structural support, while anise and violet flicker through. Drink now through 2028. 50,000 cases made.
