Favia was another of the many highlights of my October tastings. Winemaker Andy Erickson and his wife, the celebrated viticulturist Annie Favia, have turned out a set of compelling wines. The 2012s are rich and opulent, with ripeness pushed to the edge in some cases. I admit I have a preference for the 2013s, which offer better balance as they have a level of pulsating vibrancy that complement their inherent intensity perfectly and elevates the wines into the stratosphere. The 2013s are simply extraordinary wines built on energy and pure visceral thrill. Readers will not want to miss them. In 2013, Erickson and Favia have separated their Cabernet Sauvignon sources and plan to bottle two Cabernet Sauvignons rather than one, as was their practice previously.

Whether it is the Sauvignon Blanc planted in their home vineyard, the rugged Rancho Chimiles that informs Cerro Sur, or the parcels they pull fruit from elsewhere in Napa Valley, winemaker Andy Erickson and viticulturist Annie Favia are driven by a deeply held passion for the land. As for the wines, well, they are superb. I had a chance to taste a few older wines during a recent visit, all of which have held up beautifully. Readers who haven's discovered Favia yet owe it to themselves to do so. These are gorgeous wines endowed with fabulous class.
