February 23, 2023 - Premiere Napa Valley; 2/22/2023-3/25/2023 (Napa, California): There was one winery I wanted to taste during my trip and that was Favia, I have long been a follow of Andy Erickson but have yet to sit down and taste through the 4 wines. Here was my chance, and wow was I not disappointed. The grapes from all 4 wines tasted are of an east/North exposure, ensuring slow ripening and not hot afternoon sun. All 4 wines showed wonderfully with my favourites the Coombsville and Cerro Sur coming up top. If you have a chance you should not hesitate to try a Favia wine.
One of the wines of the trip which included tasting 200 or so Napa Cabernets. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville. Aromas are very aromatic and included multiple layers of crushed florals, dark berries, cassis, sandalwood, graphite, unsmoked tobacco and dark chocolate. The plate was full bodied, intense yet wonderfully elegant and focused, displaying refined tannins along with dark berries channeling through the palate along with a mineral and earthy undertone mid-palate following waves of bitter chocolate, orange peel and sage along and a long savoury finish. With only a small taste it was difficult to capture the pure elegance and class of this wine. I have a couple of bottles in the cellar, and will purchase more in the coming weeks. I hope to save a couple of bottles for 20 years time, this is old school Napa!2 people found this helpful Comment -
