Faethm Unanswered Prayers 2021: A Critically Acclaimed California White Blend

Experience the captivating complexity of Faethm’s limited-production 2021 Unanswered Prayers, a stunning white wine blend earning 93-97 points from top critics. Crafted predominantly from Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Chardonnay (72%), elevated by Roussanne (15.4%) and Marsanne (12.6%), this California gem showcases daring, artisanal winemaking.

Proprietor Nik Krankl embraces an intentionally oxidative process, fermenting and aging the wine for 21 months in 86% new French oak barrels without filtration or fining. This meticulous, hands-off approach – including extended lees contact – builds remarkable texture and profound depth rarely found in white wines, resulting in a truly distinctive bottle worthy of collectors.

Prepare for an aromatic symphony: intense notes of golden apple, apricot, and jasmine mingle with alluring hints of beeswax, cashew, and spring butter. The medium-bodied palate delivers a satiny, layered textural journey – waves of concentrated stone fruit and nuanced minerality unfold, energized by vibrant acidity and a subtle grip. This dynamic structure leads to an impressively long, evolving finish.

For optimal enjoyment, decant this premium white wine to appreciate its full intensity and complexity. A masterpiece of concentration and balance, Unanswered Prayers offers a profound drinking experience that rewards patience and discernment. Discover why critics hail it as “positively stunning” liquid poetry.
