Alpha Rev - Phoenix Burns

Half Greek, half Latin, the words pulled together loosely mean “the beginning of something new.”

Formed in 2005 in Austin, TX, Alpha Rev came together as the brainchild of singer/songwriter Casey McPherson after the breakup of his previous band, Endochine.

After signing with Hollywood Records in 2008, McPherson and Alpha Rev entered the studio to work on their second full-length album “New Morning”, produced by the Grammy-winning David Kahne and released the album in 2010.

Already piquing interest, the band’s songs have been featured on Bravo’s NYC Prep, the ABC Family hit Greek, ABC Brother’s and Sister’s, VH1's The OCD Project, and the CW’s Melrose Place.

In April 2010, Alpha Rev was named VH1's newest "You Oughtta Know" Artist.

Faust

Faust, the wine, celebrates a legend which has inspired many great minds, among them the German poet Goethe, from whose masterpiece we draw our inspiration.  In Goethe’s most famous work, the aging scholar Dr. Faust barters his soul in the afterlife in exchange for another chance at youth. He gets his chance, yet ultimately his soul is saved by love.

A balance of ancient art and contemporary technology transforms the finest grapes grown in our vineyard into nectar of magnificent proportions. A bold wine that will harmonize with fine food and encourage animated conversation, this seductive Cabernet Sauvignon may tempt you to make rash, even devilish choices. But fear not, love will save you in the end. 

Faust is the epitome of the style that has made Napa Cabernet Sauvignon world renowned:  bold and powerful, yet elegant and concentrated. Top Cabernet Sauvignon lots are selected from vineyards Agustin Huneeus owns in Rutherford, a Napa Valley appellation synonymous with the best of Napa Valley Cabernet, as well as the up and coming, soon to be named Tulocay viticultural area south of Atlas Peak.
