Favia
Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville
10 cases produced
Highlights
- 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville
- "Scalene" - Unequal parts from three prized vineyard sites
- Oakville's most majestic variety from a powerhouse vintage
- Pure terroir expression, bottled unfiltered and unfined
Description
2023 marks the first year of Cabernet Sauvignon from Favia's new Oakville estate, but also more than 15 vintages working with Oakville Ranch and many years of friendship with vineyard manager Hugo Maldonado. Using the Favia estate as the grounding vertex, a triangle of vineyard sites was created to deliver this one-of-a-kind blend. All three sites are extremely compelling, but here the sum is greater than the parts!
Wine Facts
- Wine is unfiltered
- Sustainably produced
Andy Erickson and Jessica Tarpy Shaheen
Winemaker, Favia
In the spirit of mentorship, this lot celebrates the collaboration between Favia winemaker Jessica Tarpy Shaheen and proprietor Andy Erickson. This duo has been making wine together, along with viticulturist Annie Favia, since 2008.
Jessica moved to Napa Valley that year and became “Employee Number One” at Favia, until then a true “mom-and-pop” operation. She holds degrees from UCLA and Fresno State, but really it’s her Louisiana spirit that shines through in everything she does. Andy Erickson is a graduate of Tufts University with a Master’s Degree from UC Davis, and he likes to remind people of his blue ribbon in the Science Fair at Mary Feeser Elementary School in Elkhart, Indiana in 1977. Together these two (actually three) have put their passion into their craft for a decade and a half.
Country born: United States
Years in the wine industry: 20-30 years
