Located at the base of Spring Mountain, Beckstoffer Las Piedras is an unmistakable site, with its distinct stony soil. The likeness of this terroir to that of Bordeaux was precisely what inspired Benoit to create the Fait-Main project. While there is a hedonistically delicious ripe fruit core to this wine, the elegance of the site shines through on the nose with soft floral notes leading to a blueberry-blackberry explosion on the palate.
The beloved Fait-Main was started by French native Benoit Touquette after he was rocketed to winemaker stardom from his involvement with the eponymous Realm Cellars. Benoit controls all aspects of Fait-Main, including partnering with some of the most lauded vineyard sites in Napa Valley to produce wines from only the most pristine fruit sources.
