90 points Wine Spectator:
"Attractive boysenberry, black cherry and cassis flavors mix with light licorice and vanilla notes. A tangy minerality drives this light to medium-bodied red and lingers on the herb-tinged finish. Drink now through 2014."

Faust Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 ($49). Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California
The 2008 Faust is a worthy successor to the highly lauded 2007 vintage in Napa Valley. The wine opens with aromas of red and black cherries, hints of violets and warm spices. A lush, full entry on the palate with blackberry, cassis, nutmeg and dark chocolate flavors leads to a plush, supple mouthfeel. A complex finish lingers with dark fruit and plenty of richness.
Gaja Ca'Marcanda Promis 2008 ($48). Tuscany, Italy
90 Points Wine Spectator
"Bursting with pure, sweet blackberry, black cherry and spice flavors, this is not overoaked, offering a vibrant structure, with firm tannins on the finish and nice length. Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese. Drink now through 2016"
