100% Cabernet Sauvignon
99 Points James Suckling
The red fruit and tile aromas with terra-cotta come through clearly here. Then there’s sage and bark with cedar undertones. Leaves, too. Then turns to blue fruits. Full body with lovely tannins that are velvety and energetic from the underlying acid and earth character. Excellent finish.
98 Points Vinous
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville soars out of the glass. Inky dark cherry, gravel, licorice, graphite and chocolate saturate the palate. Vertical, dense and explosive, the 2021 is wonderfully deep and expressive. There's plenty of Oakville Ranch tannin, but it is so well- balanced.
97 Points Decanter
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon features big, round, silky, and lush blackberry flavours with sagebrush nuances and dark chocolate. It is full-bodied with a rich, dense black and blue fruit core, complemented by tantalising acidity. Dazzling in its opulence, it is perfectly balanced by superb, fine-grained tannins and bright minerality. Favia is the project of husband and wife duo viticulturist

Andy Erickson and Annie Favia’s Oakville site, set at 300m elevation due east, with the red iron rich volcanic soil of Oakville. Rich depths of flavour are seamed here, laced through with dark chocolate and cocoa bean, olive pit and creamy black cherry and damson fruits, muscular tannins that keep things rooted through the mid palate, great expansion and lift on the finish. 50% new oak, unfiltered, unfined.
