Favia Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville 2015
Andy Erickson and his amazing wife Annie’s latest masterpiece! The man behind so many world-class, coveted and critically-acclaimed wines (Dalla Valle, Marciano, Screaming Eagle, Ovid, Arietta, and many more…) releases his powerhouse Coombsville Cabernet to us (just a few cases!!) --- grab it while we have it! Sorry we don’t have more!
While we like to pepper offers with our own commentary usually, we cannot find any fault with Jeb Dunnuck’s assessment...so here it is! “Another thrilling 2015 from winemaker Andy Erickson is the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville, which comes from vines not far from the estate. It has classic cool climate notes of blue fruits, violet, chocolate, and green tobacco. These all flow to a deep, concentrated, yet finesse-driven wine that has fine tannins, terrific mid-palate depth, and a huge finish. It shows the classic Coombsville complexity, purity, and freshness, and will keep for 2-3 decades.”
RIGHT? YES, it is ALL THAT. While it lasts..!
Oh --- side note/pro tip: if you are ever in Napa, GO VISIT Favia and do a tasting at their gorgeous new property in Coombsville. Besides wine, you can sample some of Annie’s killer organic teas. See you there.
