VIP NAPA WINE EVENT

Meet Michelle Faustini of Faustini Wines
Small Batch Cabernet, Chardonnay + more!!!


With extremely small quantities handcrafted, only 100-300 cases of each, Faustini is the poster child for 'boutique' Napa wines. Faustini is the Napa Valley passion project of our friends Anthony and Michelle Faustini. Over ten years ago, this enthusiastic couple started their first Cabernet project with fruit sourced from the illustrious Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard in St. Helena, and have been going strong ever since. Working closely with their winemaker Kian Tavakoli, a UC Davis grad who worked at Opus One and Clos du Val, Michelle & Anthony strive to show the best wines that Napa Valley has to offer. At Faustini, it's all about using prime vineyard sites and crafting rich, balanced, elegant wines. Beckstoffer Dr. Crane, Galleron Road Vineyard in Rutherford, Howell Mountain and Coombsville Vineyard in Napa Valley are a few of their most notable vineyard sources. We will taste several wines, including the stunning 2012 Napa Cabernet and the 2015 Money Road Napa Chardonnay.  


Cheers! the Murray family


 

Faustini 1023 Cabernet Sauvignon 2012


A real highlight from the great 2012 vintage this wine is lush, juicy, and pure with loads of mocha, ripe fruit, and extract. Made of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with small percentages of Petit Verdot and Malbec, 100% Napa fruit, the '1023' Cabernet was aged in 100% New French Oak and is intense and focused, highlighted by ripe blackberry, black cherry, plum, dark chocolate, and caramelized oak flavors . Only 207 cases made. This ultra small batch wine, '1023' Cabernet, was inspired by a momentous family moment for the Faustini's. At 10:23 AM on a beautiful spring morning in 2009, they were blessed with the birth of their daughter Ava. This wine celebrates the Faustini family journey, filled with family, friends and of course, great wine.

Faustini Secret Veil Cabernet Sauvignon 2015


This Napa stunner is made from fruit from the famous Beckstoffer George III vineyard in Rutherford.  We found the wine to be very pure, round, and rich with an exotic and voluptuous personality. This easily competes with the best of the best from Napa Valley.  Named after a piece of art at the Peter Lik gallery, the 'Secret Veil' Cabernet Sauvignon was first released in the 2006 vintage, and is an integral part of the Faustini wine portfolio. Made of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petite Verdot and aged in 100% New French Oak, there were only 98 cases produced of this very special wine.  Look for a deep dark garnet-purple color opening to blackberry preserves, toast and baked plums with a waft of clove. This beauty has fantastic poise, lovely freshness and huge length on the finish and incredible depth.  This wine is only made in the very best years.

The 2015 Faustini Money Road is a luxurious small batch Napa Chardonnay, with only about 300 cases produced. Made of 98% Chardonnay 2% Roussanne , it was aged for 20 months in neutral French oak. This is a concentrated and youthful wine, on the nose, with classic notes of pear and apples, subtle tropical and peach aromas. On the palate, the integrated oak compliments the lifted acidity beautifully, with a layered and full bodied palate profile, all leading to a refreshing, vibrant and balanced finish.
