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.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville Ranch, located just above Dalla Valle. Blackberries, crushed violets, cassis, blackcurrants, dark chocolate and savoury spices waft from the nose. The palate is full bodied yet with a mineral brightness along with a succulent core of dark red fruit, dried herbs, polished tannins along with a juicy mid-palate, layered and spicy, this finishes long and savoury.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 17, 2022 - Napa Valley - November 2022; 11/16/2022-11/19/2022 (Napa Valley): Nose of fresh black plums, chocolate and some wet earth. Drying fine tannins with big acidity. Palate starts with red cherry transitioning to baked blackberry/currants and leather. This one is big and could use some time to settle down but I think it is likely to all come together. Big fruit + big acidity + big but fine tannins keep it all in balance somehow. Probably best in 7-10 years, maybe longer but no reason to regret enjoying it in a few years.
