Description:
A rich and polished Napa Valley Cabernet with flavors of blackberry, dark plum and currant, layered with fresh herbs, cedar, black pepper, bittersweet chocolate, tobacco, earthy spice and crushed stone. Fine tannins create a velvety texture, while vibrant acidity balances the concentrated fruit and gives the wine a fresh, structured finish. Fruit from Faust's cooler Coombsville vineyard forms the core of the blend, complemented by select lots from other cool areas of Napa Valley.

Pairing Recommendation:
Excellent with Prime Ribeye, Prime NY Strip, beef tenderloin, braised short ribs, rack of lamb or aged cheeses. For Midtown Provisions, pair with a Prime Ribeye.

Serve: 60–65°F. Allow approximately 45 minutes to breathe before serving.
