Faust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
California Red Wine | 14.5% ABV | 375mL Half-Bottle
Process & Profile
Faust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold yet elegant red wine from the Huneeus family, known for their acclaimed Quintessa estate. Crafted from fruit grown in premier Napa Valley AVAs—including Coombsville, Oakville, and Rutherford—this Cabernet delivers rich complexity and balance. Aged in French oak barrels and made with a non-vintage approach for consistency, this wine reflects the darker, deeper side of Napa’s finest terroir.
This 375mL half-bottle edition offers the same premium experience in a smaller, more versatile format ideal for sharing or sampling.
