Having spent time at both Opus One and Clos du Val, Winemaker Kian Tavakoli brings a wealth of knowledge in Napa Valley to the team at Faustini Wines. What lured him to this project was pretty obvious: the opportunity to make Cabernet Sauvignon in his own style from some of the most elite Cabernet vineyards in the world. Whether it be Beckstoffer Dr Crane in St. Helena, Galleron Road in Rutherford, Howell Mountain, or Coombsville Vineyard, each brings with it incredible prestige and uniqueness. For Kian, the choice was an easy one.
In the excellent 2016 vintage in Napa, Kian had little work to do. With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the vineyard of the very same name located in the Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated vineyard known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and some of the big A listers that source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
It has classic notes of apple, pear and tropical and peach aromas. On the palate, the integrated oak compliments the lifted acidity beautifully, with a layered and full-bodied palate profile, leading to a refreshing, vibrant and balanced finish.
It’s no wonder this is a hot little ticket amongst some of NYC’s best restaurants; this is a killer wine at a great price. The 2020 Petit Chablis has an attractive nose of citrus rind, white flowers, and wet stone. In the palate, the wine is racy and mineral with just a touch of salinity. The hallmark of the great 2020s will be tension and length and Sébastien’s little wine has both in spades. The acidic/mineral cut will make this fantastic at the table and a great candidate for short term aging.
The newly released Torrontes from Herve Fabre is a fantastic bottle of wine for the price tag. A delicious, crisp white wine treat from our good friend Herve. Crafted in Valle de Uco in the Mendoza region, this delicious white offers delicate aromas of white flowers, orange blossom with a touch of lime that adds a delicious lift to the wine.

“A pure but subtle notion of freshly cut Golden Delicious suggests juiciness, creaminess and freshness in equal measure. The palate of this wine homes in on rounded ripeness on a smooth, gently textured, creamy palate. This wine is resonant but sinuous, concentrated and juicy with a lasting, apple-flavored finish.”
This is an extremely tasty little Verdicchio from Garofoli that uses as a little bit of a cheat code in this wine to make it so good. Using slightly late-harvested grapes adds tremendous body and longevity to this food-friendly gem which is absolutely perfect for shellfish, shrimp or pretty much anything else coming out of the sea. The coastal influence on the wine is also apparent with a hint of minerality and salinity on the finish.
