Favia Cabernet Blend Carbone 2017
“his oh-so silky & rich new release from Napa’s acclaimed 2018 vintage offers sumptuous aromas of plum, cassis, blackberry and sage evolve on the palate to include dark chocolate and baking spice with some graphite and background oak. It is full-bodied and has a layered, multi-tiered mid-palate (tangy baking spices) leading to a distinguished finish lasting over 30 seconds. This is an opulent crowd-pleaser to enjoy now and anytime for the next 5-7 years.
