Favia Wines is a boutique winery based in Napa Valley, known for producing small quantities of high-quality wines. The winery was founded by winemakers Andy Erickson and Annie Favia in the early 2000s. Their 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville reveals the distinctive essence of the gravelly, volcanic terroir and the influence of nearby San Pablo Bay. Embracing a minimal intervention approach, the winemaking process highlights the essence of the grape.
98 Vinous
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville is a blend mostly from Meteor. A stunning wine, the 2019 possesses off the charts richness and tremendous depth that just builds with time in the glass. Inky dark fruit, plum, spice, licorice, menthol and crushed berries saturate the palate. The 2019 is one of the very finest wines I have ever tasted from Andy Erickson and Annie Favia. Don't miss it. — Antonio Galloni, 1st January 2022
98 The Wine Independent
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville is deep garnet-purple in color. After a swirl or two, it bursts from the glass with flamboyant notes of warm cassis, blackberry pie, and juicy plums leading to hints of star anise, cinnamon stick, lilacs, and tilled soil. The medium to full-bodied palate offers surprising elegance, with fine-knit black fruit and spice layers framed by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length. — Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 2nd April 2024

From Coombsville, one of the fresher areas of Napa, with fog influence, packed full of black fruits, more punchy and concentrated than the Cerro Sur from the same estate. Expect dark fruits and layers of liqourice and graphite, together with a restrained and slighly chalky feel to the tannins. Grippy, freshly-grated slate texture with a refreshing hit on the finish, hangs on in there delivering waves of flavour. This will age for a good decade or more. Harvest September 30 to October 7, 50% new oak. Natural yeasts, low intervention, no filtering or fining. Owners, viticulturalists and winemakers Annie Favia and Andy Erickson. Tasted twice. — Jane Anson, 31st August 2022
95 Robert Parker
Aromas of pencil shavings, dried sage and blueberry appear on the nose of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville. All Cabernet Sauvignon blended from three area vineyards, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated, dense and savory. Firmly built, with a couple of decades ahead of it, it's a super effort. — Joe Czerwinski, 31st March 2023
