Favia 'Carbone' Red 2019

93 Points Jeb Dunnuck

The 2019 Carbone is a bigger winner and a terrific value in Napa Valley Bordeaux-like blends. Based on 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Cabernet Franc, it has a beautiful black (and some blue) fruited style as well as a layered, broad, expansive mouthfeel. Showing more floral and sappy herb notes as it sits in the glass, this plush, medium to full-bodied, undeniably delicious effort is perfect for enjoying over the coming decade. There are roughly 600 cases produced.
