Founded by Agustin Huneeus, the visionary behind some of Napa Valley’s most celebrated estates(Quintessa, Leviathan), Faust Wines was born from the belief that great Cabernet Sauvignon should embody both the soul of its land and the daring spirit of its maker.

The winery’s name draws inspiration from the classic German legend, symbolizing an unrelenting pursuit of excellence—an ethos that guides every decision from vineyard to bottle.

Rooted in Coombsville, Napa’s southernmost AVA, Faust’s estate vineyard thrives in volcanic soils influenced by cool marine breezes. These conditions, paired with meticulous farming, yield Cabernet fruit of remarkable depth, balance, and freshness—a hallmark of the Faust style.

2023 Faust Napa Valley Cabernet is exquisitely balanced between freshness and richness on the palate.

The 2023 Napa Valley vintage isn’t just another great year – it’s the year that will be etched in history. Wine experts are calling it "the vintage of a lifetime," and for good reason. The perfect blend of cool temperatures, morning fog, and balanced sunlight created conditions so exceptional that they’re being compared to Bordeaux's iconic 1961 vintage. As The Wine Independent put it, 2023 is "a winemaker's dream in terms of wine style." Wine Bible author Karen MacNeil calls it "one of the most phenomenal vintages ever in Napa Valley." This is Napa at its finest, with wines of depth, power, and elegance that will be the talk of the wine world for decades to come.
