Faust Salvation Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Faust is a Napa Valley project conceived by the Huneeus family, one of the most respected names in California wine, as an homage to the legendary Faustian bargain and the pursuit of something extraordinary at any cost. The Salvation is Faust's reserve-tier Cabernet Sauvignon, a step above the flagship in both vineyard selection and winemaking ambition, sourced from some of Napa Valley's most prized sites and crafted to deliver the full power and complexity that the appellation is capable of at its finest.

The 2020 Faust Salvation Cabernet Sauvignon is from a vintage shaped by an early harvest ahead of the season's wildfires, yielding wines of remarkable purity and concentration. Sourced from select Napa Valley vineyards and aged in French oak, the Salvation is a wine of commanding presence and seamless integration. Deep ruby purple in the glass, the nose is opulent and layered, revealing blackcurrant, dark cherry, and ripe plum intertwined with graphite, mocha, cedar, and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins, a rich, concentrated mid-palate, and a finish of exceptional length and complexity that speaks clearly to the quality of its Napa Valley origins.

The Faust Salvation Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is a wine for both the cellar and special occasions, magnificent alongside a dry aged ribeye, braised short ribs, or roasted lamb, and built to evolve gracefully for a decade or more.
