1)2013 Faust Napa cab WAS $49.95   crazy deal $36.95!!!
 
ONE OF OUR FAVORITE  NAPA CAB AND FAVORITE WINERY AND UNDER $50 TOO, A WONDERFUL "BARGAIN" and ONE of the BEST FAUST CAB WE HAVE EVER HAD (Along with the 2012 AND THE NEWLY RELEASED 2014...THESE "GUYS" AT QUINTESSA KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, FOR SURE!) and I HAVE BEEN "PUSHING" FAUST and QUINTESSA from the "trenches" since their INCEPTIONS, A TRUE POWEHOUSE NAPA GIANT for UNDER $50:
2013 FAUST ( Second label of QUINTESSA, Q sells for over $120 )Napa Cabernet Sauvignon  92/100....From the GREAT/CLASSIC 2013 vintage in Napa. GREAT CLASSY LABEL!
 
Outstanding 2013 FAUST exhibits gorgeous breadth to its FULL bodied,very concentrated personality...This well-extracted wine has outstanding depth of fruit. Intense, juicy and powerful. It coats the taster's palate with blackberries, cassis and spices.
The second label of the super sought out, super premium producer QUINTESSA winery, this is a gorgeous, rich, fat wine that Parker-loving first labels would sell their souls for. A big, intoxicating aroma of ripe, plummy fruits and cedar knocks you back into your chair. There are cedary, sweet, rich, thick, black fruit flavors with a massive mouthfeel more typical of port than wine. Try with roast lamb or filet mignon or a grilled burger. DELICIOUS!
 
 
STOCK UP AT $36.95/BTL.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  
In the German legend, Dr. Faust trades his soul to the devil in exchange for limitless knowledge and pleasure. It's moral lesson to all, as tempting as this is on many, many levels. Imagine the parties? But while you will trade about $50 for the Faust Cabernet, made by the legendary winemakers at Napa Valley's Quintessa winery, plenty of pleasures are found within the bottle.

Quintessa has made its reputation in Napa by showcasing the strengths of vineyard sites within this famed valley, but Faust reflects a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourced from AVA regions throughout Napa, namely Rutherford and Coombsville. This allows the winemakers to commingle subtle flavor differences and build a wine with rounded (yet challenged?) character. But it's not just one, flat note. They crafted a diabolical blend of many different Bordeaux grape varietals for our drinking delight: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.

The Faust 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon offers layers of complexity. Aromas of dark fruits of black cherry, plum, tinged with green tobacco float from the glass and meet, then meld at the palate crossroads. Here, dusty tannins, menthol, lush black fruit and a hefty helping of vanilla oak complete the negotiation. Elegant yet masculine, seductive yet forceful, this Napa Cabernet would make Mephistopheles proud.

2)2014 FAUST NAPA CAB  $36.95 average retail price around the country $52!!!
 
Just NOW released! Not yet rated but when you taste it, it's a NO BRAINER, it will GET 91/100 or 92/100 or BETTER like ALL THE FAUST cabs in the past 7 years! 
Wow! This gorgeous cab is so rich, muscular, concentrated and dark in the glass, it looks more black than red!

"Faust is the epitome of the style that has made Napa Cabernet Sauvignon world renowned: bold and powerful, yet elegant and concentrated. Dense and inky, the core is a beautiful, rich ruby color. The aromas lift out of the glass with blackberry, black cherry, ripe raspberry and tea leaf. The entry is impressive with a fleshy mouthfeel and notes of cassis, dark chocolate and ripe berries. The layers continue to unfold throughout a long finish." - Winemaker's notes-

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Faust is designed as a second wine of Quintessa. It exhibits a very dense dark/ruby/purple color, cassis fruit,  blackberry, chocolate, coffee in a delicious, very rich , fruit-forward, open-knit style. Enjoy it now through 2028+.
 
 
Happy New Year! TREAT YOURSELF TO A MINI VERTICAL (2013 and 2014) AND SAVE $155 PER EACH CASE OF EACH VINTAGE
