Winemaker Notes
In celebrating their 13th Anniversary Vintage the winery is releasing a limited edition magnum designed by street artist Faust. The artist who shares his name with their label and who designed this bottle by hand, is one of the most innovative and influential street artists coming out of New York today. Faust joined the winery in Napa Valley as our Artist in Residence, during which he designed this magnum. With only 1000 cases produced this limited and unique bottling will sell out quickly. Faust seamlessly blends calligraphy, graffiti and design for his unique aesthetic that resonates with a broad audience around the globe. His murals are peppered throughout the streets of New York, while his signature adorns walls from Hong Kong to Moscow. Faust’s work is featured in the new book The Art of Writing Your Name and is currently on display in the inaugural exhibition at the Urban Nation Museum for Urban Contemporary Art in Berlin. The 2015 vintage of Faust Cabernet is a blend of estate vineyards in Coombsville and Rutherford and mountain sourcing in Atlas Peak, Mount Veeder and Howell Mountain. Dark juicy fruit combine with nuanced spice notes and balanced acidity make this wine perfect for steaks, BBQ or meaty comfort food, and is enjoyable on its own.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A barrel sample, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple colored, with a decadent cassis, baked blackberries and plum preserves-scented nose, plus hints of spice cake, cedar and Marmite toast. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and wonderfully spicy in the mouth, it has velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long. 92-94 points
