This afternoon, Vinomaker and I ventured out of Vinoland, but we didn't go too far. Staying fairly close to our Coombsville home, we decided to attend Afternoon in the Vineyards the annual event hosted by the Napa Valley Vintners. And, for the first time, Vinodog 2 came along with us.
The folks at Faust, our vineyard of choice, farm approximately 112 acres in Coombsville's gently, rolling hills. The vineyard is planted to five grape varieties; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Syrah and Sauvignon blanc. And all the vines, from what I could see, are head-trained and cane-pruned. The weather was a tad cool, the scenery was beautiful and V2 had a poo. Not much more to say really. Oh, except that I did taste a Faust 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, but didn't think an awful lot of it; too plummy and one-dimensional, not a lot going on.
