Favia's 2023 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a new addition to the range, yet it looks back to the single Cabernet Annie Favia and Andy Erickson made in their early years. The fruit comes mainly from Oakville with Coombsville in the mix, and Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot join the Cabernet Sauvignon. Blackcurrant and dark chocolate set the tone, followed by cherry, plum and cranberry, while the supporting grapes add a savory, peppery and floral edge. It is rich and deep but moves with real energy; a tangy streak of acidity keeps it lively, and the ample tannin is well integrated. The finish is long and juicy, ending on a saline tang and a flash of citrus peel. Critics put its opening anywhere from now to 2029. Set it beside braised short ribs, aged Gouda or grilled portobellos.

17+/20 Points
17+ Points, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com: "First release containing fruit from Annie Favia and Andy Erickson’s new location for Favia, which was originally made in the traditional winery by their Coombsville home. Garlanded Mexican architect Frida Escobedo has been commissioned to design a new winery on the Oakville Cross Road vineyard that once belonged to Clark Swanson. There will be a little more in 2024 and the 2025 will probably be made up of 50:50 Coombsville and Oakville fruit. Backer Agustin Huneeus Jr says he wants the wine to offer value; the plan is to price it at $150 a bottle, ‘half the price Favia used to be’. There has been some replanting of the new vineyard and a determined effort to be organic, biodynamic and regenerative.Deep purplish crimson. Very rich start with some spice and then some refinement from Coombsville. Fresh and inky – much fresher than the Napa norm. (JR) (Drink between 2027-2037)" 10/25

98 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "In a new beginning for Favia, an equal blend of Coombsville and Oakville represents the best of both appellations—the fresh, savory, mineral edge of the former intertwining with the deep flavor and floral lift of the latter. Layers of fruit, supported by graphite, dried herbs, flowers and spices, lead to a luscious yet refined palate with finely tuned tannins and a bright line of acidity. A complete, balanced expression of Napa. 75% cabernet sauvignon, 21% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot. Excellent. Drink or hold." 12/25
