2019 Favia Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville Napa Valley 750 ml

We look forward to Andy Erickson and Annie Favia’s lineup of Favia wines every single vintage. But in 2019—one of the finest vintages Napa Valley has ever seen—they put together one of the greatest lineups we’ve tasted from the duo.

That’s especially impressive, considering that Andy and Annie’s bona fides are too numerous to list. They’ve got combined experience at Kongsgaard, Corison, Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle, and Ovid, and it’s no exaggeration to say that we’d be proud to pour any wine in their 2018 collection alongside the most collectible red wines in Napa Valley.

We’re not alone in that assessment. Every wine in the lineup—from the Coombsville and Oakville Cabernets to the Cerro Sur and La Magdalena reds—earned between 96 and 99 points from both Jeb Dunnuck and Vinous.

“One of the finest wines I have ever tasted from Andy Erickson and Annie Favia” said Antonio Galloni of Vinous in his 98-point review of the 2019 Coombsville Cabernet. A powerful expression of the cool climate and volcanic soils of the AVA that Andy and Annie call home, this dark, smooth-textured Cabernet is fit to cellar for two decades.

This wine goes almost exclusively to Favia’s loyal mailing list, and is all but impossible to find outside of the Bay Area. We owe our allocation not just to our friendship, but to the many fans that Favia has earned at Wine Access through our earlier offers.
