Faust Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
rws34194$41.22

The color is impenetrably purple-black leading to a bouquet of super-ripe black-currant fruit and accent notes of spicy, high quality French oak. On the palate the wine is velvet-plush, smooth up front with a bit of tannin at the back for structure and focus. Flavors are of ripe, sweet fruit, with a hint of fresh rosemary, chocolate, even fine tobacco on the finish.

"A very good Cabernet Sauvignon-based Bordeaux blend from Agustin Huneeus. While it would not be true to say it’s a second wine of Quintessa, it does show the balance and integrity of that bottling, with a firm structure and dramatically layered black currant, mineral and cedar flavors. Will undoubtedly age. Best now through 2011, at least. — S.H. (12/1/2008)" - Rated 92, Wine Enthusiast
