Tasting notes
More finesse-driven, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Pact reveals red and black fruits, flowers, spicy oak, and graphite. Beautifully textured and medium to full-bodied, it has nicely integrated acidity and a great finish. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 22 months in French oak, 40% new, this beautifully balanced wine has more finesse and elegance than the 2018. Drink 2025-2037.

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.
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. Drinkable now, but better in 2024.
