The Pact 2019

The Pact 2019

Situated on one of the coolest sites in the arc of Coombsville, our Faust Vineyard is a standard-bearer for the fresh and elegant wines this southern corner of Napa Valley is capable of producing. And The Pact, an intricate blend from the most distinctive micro-blocks on our benchlands—tiny sites where the effect of the region’s ancient volcanic soils is magnified—is a singular expression of Coombsville’s now-fabled Cabernet Sauvignon. We are proud to offer you our extraordinary 2019.

The Pact 2019 approaches the dark soul of Faustian legend with blueberry and blackberry aromas over a vein of crushed-rock minerality that gives way to haunting forest notes and hints of violet. The palate, with the texture of velvet—luxuriously dense—lines that core of blue-black fruit with the barest edge of bright cherry laced with dried tarragon and star anise. Silky tannins and generous ripe fruit linger through an endless, vibrant finish. There’s a long life ahead for this Cabernet.
