Description
The Pact lives up to Faust legend with beautiful dark blueberry and blackberry aromas over layers of crushed rock minerality, haunting forest notes and hints of violet. With the texture of velvetluxuriously densethe palate wraps that core of blue and back fruit with the barest edge of bright cherry spiced with star anise and savory dried tarragon. Silky tannins and generous ripe fruit linger through an endless, vibrant finish.
96 Points – James Suckling
Redcurrants and blackcurrants with some violets and crushed earth. Full-bodied with round, creamy tannins. Fine, velvety tannins that are open and grounded. Firm and tight finish.
93 Points – Wine Spectator
Leads with a bright savory edge, followed quickly by a wave of dark fig, blackberry and aa berry flavors. Subtle alder and chaparral notes add nice lift through the finish.
93 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
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.
