Favia Cerro Sur: Napa Valley’s Cult Cabernet Franc Masterpiece
The Favia Cerro Sur blend is the flagship red from the esteemed husband-and-wife team, Annie Favia and Andy Erickson. Sourced primarily from high-elevation volcanic and sandstone hillside sites in Coombsville, this wine is a masterclass in combining power with precision, earning consistent 97+ point scores from top critics.
It stands out in Napa for its Cabernet Franc dominance, lending it an aromatic complexity and tension often sought in the world’s most elegant red blends. This is an investment-grade wine built to age for decades.
