Favia
Cerro Sur Napa Valley Red Blend
Such and amazing cross between old world and new...molasses and fig pudding on the nose, hint of herbs. Hint of herbs from the Cab Franc on the front of the palate with a menthol and sweet black berry blast on the finish. Excellent wine that will age well for another 10plus years. No rush here.

Mar 23rd, 2018Licorice and cloves on the nose with gobs of cherry and plum flavors dominating the palate. Nice minerality. Zero greenness. Tannins are well integrated. A very nice wine.

Jan 28th, 2017Remains a sturdy, structured wine. Very expressive. Dark fruit, rich but still a tannic bite.

Mar 26th, 2020At the 30 min decant mark starts to open up that floral cab franc nose. Really lovely cab franc/sauv blend. Super smooth, silky mouthfeel. Holding together perfectly. Dark fruit, bit of charcoal, camphor, lavender. Fruit coming out more with time in the glass. Great wine!

Oct 20th, 2023Give it a 30 min decant at least and it sings. Floral nose from this cab franc driven blend with cab sauv. Raspberry, blueberry, mocha. Dense chalky tannins that have softened with age, yet still solidly structured - lot of life left in this wine. Great mouthfeel and nice long finish.
