Faust The Pact
$114.98
With its vivid blue fruit and vibrant energy, the 2021 Pact might be a Coombsville prototype for years to come.
Dark, exotic spice-with star anise in the lead—opens on a complex nose layered with sweet tobacco, savory herb and olive notes, and a lovely vein of graphite minerality under briar-kissed blueberry. The palate is electric, its deceptive power couched in chalky, tight-knit cannins. Black raspberry joins blueberry, with wet slate and soil-driven, iron-rich minerality spilling into a long, perfectly balanced finish, serious and hedonistic at once.
Blend: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Merlot
James Suckling 97 Points- So many graphite and pencil shaving aromas here with blue fruits. Slate and tar undertones. Black and red currants. Some ash. Medium-bodied with open grained tannins. So much iron and rust with lead and mussel shell. Then turns to pine cone and cedar. Really complex and flavor intensive. Love to drink it now as a young wine. This evolves all the time.
Wine Spectator- Leads with a bright savory edge, followed quickly by a wave of dark fig, blackberry and açaí berry flavors. Subtle alder and chaparral notes add nice lift through the finish. Best from 2023
Robert Parker– Scents of charred wood and scorched coffee mark the nose of Faust’s 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Pact. Those elements are backed by notes of plum, cassis and blackberries. It’s full-bodied and dark-fruited, but there’s still a sense of freshness here, expressed in part as a vibrant, mouthwatering finish with soft tannins.
