This brand new release defines the coveted ‘silky-smooth’ texture collectors adore plus delivers a galaxy of dark fruit flavors, guaranteed to impress Napa connoisseurs. From one of the great sites in Napa, this Cabernet waltzes across the palate with boldness, exuberance and focus. Dense, ripe, and full-bodied, with velvety tannins, this monumental effort displays a core of cassis, blackberry, mocha and caramel complimented by hints of creamy toffee oak (French) on the prodigious finish. Worthy of a 99 point rating tonight (decanting recommended) and, thanks to a harmonious balance, a sincere candidate for a triple digit judgement in the next 5 – 10 years. HIGHLY recommended!

Fait Main Winery

Winemaker Benoit Touquette was Andy Erickson’s right hand man managing day-to-day wine
production at Screaming Eagle during the 2005 / 2006 vintages (both 98 points) and
the legendary 2007 vintage (100 points). Our friend Benoit also happens to be the
French protégé of world-famous winemaker Michel Rolland and assisted him (+ Andy
Erickson) launching 100 point Ovid.

Today, Benoit is leveraging his substantial talent and connections in Napa to craft just a
few barrels of a glorious micro-production Cabernet under his new personal label he
calls Fait Main which means “hand-crafted” in French. The fruit is sourced from the
renowned Las Piedras vineyards (multiple R. Parker 97 – 98 point ratings).
