Description
The Pact is the purest expression of our Coombsville estate—a Cabernet Sauvignon born from the tension between volcanic soils and cool San Pablo Bay breezes. This Premiere Napa Valley lot was chosen by winemaker David Jelinek to embody the essence of Coombsville: power balanced by elegance, depth met with restraint. Sourced from the most distinctive blocks within our Faust Vineyard, this limited barrel selection captures the region’s signature blue and black fruit, fine minerality, and vibrant acidity that define our wines. A true reflection of place and craft, The Pact reveals Coombsville’s dark beauty and the meticulous artistry that drives Faust.
