A decade after the first release from his Quintessa estate, Agustin Huneeus felt the thrill and excitement of a new endeavor beckon. Faust is a tribute to Napa Valley's noblest grape - full bodied, decadently rich and unctuous Cabernet Sauvignon.
To express the complexity of the grape and the diversity of Napa Valley, Faust seeks Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from Agustin's family vineyards in Rutherford and Coombsville, a soon to emerge AVA in the eastern foothills of south of Atlas Peak. Agustin's relationship with growers in other appellations, such as Yountville, Mount Veeder, St. Helena and Rutherford, round out the blend with small lots from these spectacular mountain and valley terroirs.
