Favia 'Carbone' Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon / Cabernet Franc / Petit Verdot

Napa Valley, California

Favia Wine was founded by noted viticulturist Annie Favia and her husband and wine maker, Andy Erickson. Wine making was not their initial career paths – Andy (originally from Indiana) majored in Political Science at Tufts University with an emphasis on Latin American policies while Annie majored in French Literature at George Washington University and was raised on a farm in Connecticut. Both met randomly at a party that was being held at Andy’s house. Their first Favia wine (not released commercially was in 2001); their first commercial vintage and release was from 2003. In the early years their wine was made in their garage – over the years it has been made at several locations in the valley. Looking to find their own winery home, Favia purchase 6.5 acres in Coombsville in 2014.
