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. It exhibits a rich flavor profile with notes of dark berries, cassis, and hints of mocha, complemented by a balanced acidity and firm tannins. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses, making it a versatile choice for various dining occasions.
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.
