FAUSTINO

Faustino VII Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Trust your Taste

Plum, cassis and dark fruit meet balsamic notes in this fleshy Cabernet. Very soft tannins carry a long finish with a small savoury-bitter edge and dried-fruit detail. Try it if you enjoy full reds with rounded texture.

How this wine feels

This feels full and soft through the middle, with gentle grip. Ripe fruit leads, while a small bitter-savoury note gives the finish definition. It is generous without being purely sweet-fruited.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
