A very good mid value Cali Cab. Restrained aromatics again like some past samplings of this wine. I get lieterally no aromatics. In mouth the wine is mulberry sweet fruit with some casiss and plum skin Cabernet. Blackberry, and plum and a smooth mouthfeel at first, but quite a lively mid palette where acidity overtakes the fruit. Spice driven finish.

Wow. Would not have thought these would be so good when I layed them down a few years ago “just to see” what would happen. I have a magnum left which I will be saving until 2025. The QPR on Faust is outstanding and like one of the other posters I scooped up a case of the 17s at $29/bottle. A steal but definitely not in the same league as the ‘15. Dark fruit and plush mouthfeel. Medium-long finish. Pleasure to drink now. Bottles like these make me question some of the other much higher price napa cabs I collect to which I would give similar 92 rating.

PnP from 375 ml. - 15 min. the glass. Smooth black & blue fruit, cedar & expresso. Soft tannins with a long full finish.

This has matured beautifully. Well rounded and balanced. Jammy with soft tannins.

Strong notes of caramel with hint of chili on finish. Cherry and blueberry flavors as well.
