Some wines earn their place on the shelf year after year—and Faust Cabernet Sauvignon is one of those rare staples at The Wine and Cheese Place. For us, it’s long been the no-brainer Napa Cab: consistently impressive, endlessly drinkable, and one of the best values you’ll find around the $50 mark.
We bring it in every vintage, but when Faust delivers a truly standout year, we go all in. 2021 was one of those moments, earning the coveted #4 spot on Wine Spectator’s Wine of the Year list—and now, history is repeating itself.
The 2023 Faust Cabernet has just been awarded a 96-point score from James Suckling, and after tasting it, we can confidently say: this one absolutely lives up to the hype. Bold yet polished, richly layered with dark fruit, Napa power, and that signature Faust finesse—it’s the kind of Cabernet that reminds you why this winery continues to shine.
