2022 Faust The Pact Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Experience the dark, volcanic heart of Napa Valley with the 2022 Faust "The Pact" Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml at VS Liquor. "The Pact" is the flagship expression of Faust’s estate vineyard in Coombsville, Napa’s southernmost and coolest AVA for Cabernet Sauvignon. Situated in the rocky ruins of an ancient volcanic caldera, the vineyard benefits from marine breezes off the San Pablo Bay, which facilitate a long, slow ripening period. The 2022 vintage is a triumph of precision, showcasing the signature "iron fist in a velvet glove" character that defines this site. Composed of nearly 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is aged for 22 months in French oak (45% new), resulting in a modern classic that balances the plushness of a warm season with the vibrant, mineral-driven freshness of its unique terroir.

Whether you are seeking a premier gift for a Napa Valley enthusiast or a high-scoring masterpiece (95 Points, James Suckling; 93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck) to pair with a grilled ribeye or braised short ribs, our online purchase system makes ordering effortless. Take advantage of our reliable home delivery service to have this 14.8% ABV icon brought directly to your door. In the glass, it reveals a deep garnet-purple color. The bouquet is highly sophisticated and layered, offering aromas of black cherries, crème de cassis, and violets, accented by the vineyard's distinctive star anise, graphite, and dried sage. On the palate, it is full-bodied and muscular yet seamless, delivering a concentrated core of juicy Luxardo cherries and blackberries framed by ultra-fine, powdery tannins and a long, savory finish that echoes with cocoa and a distinct flinty minerality.
