Favia Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 750ml

Description

There is logic behind the fact that Oakville has become the most heralded slice of Napa Valley (the tenderloin, as Robert Parker has called it). Our blocks at Oakville Ranchhigh above the eastern edge of the Valley, organically farmed on red, rocky, iron-rich soilshave produce some of the most compelling wines in the area for many years. It is these red hillsides that continue to astound us year after year, the wines having such power, intensity, and strength of character. The 2019 Favia Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville is all about freshness, purity, and intensity. From a vintage that will continue to attract attention, this wine comes across the palate with a serious rush. Bright red cherry, sarsaparilla, flint, and vanilla drive the profile of this perfectly ripe, fruit-centered beauty. In addition to the pure fruit flavors, there are hints of umeboshi, maraschino, and slate. The palate and finish are highly polished, and as the impression lengthens and lingers, more layers of fruit and spice are revealed. An instant classic, this wine will age for two decades or more in the cellar. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
