So far, it's opening up well, don't jump into it or it may disappoint, let you pallet adapt until the wine has had more sir. Acidity is balanced withhold berries. The Merlot allows it to soften up in the finish. — 10 years ago

2013 Vintage: The perfect easy Malbec for me. Light, sweet and super tart. — 10 years ago
Really enjoy this wine. Reminds me of a cross between typical South American Cab Sauv (juicy oak) and a hint of California's sweetness. — 10 years ago

Hard to get better than this. Exotically spicy smoky. Juhlin describes it as a cross between Bollinger and Selosse. Dead on. — 12 years ago

09' Favia Cerro Sur Red. 60% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. The CF is done in all new oak.
Raspberry & floral notes on the nose. The front of my palate I'm getting an earthiness to it, with hints of coffee. Towards the front, more to the middle & back of my palate ...Raspberries, blackberries, black licorice, spices & oak. It's such an expressive wine, but not over top! 09 is drinking great now. What's even scarier is that the 2010 is slightly better. I'm sooooo looking forward to trying the 12/13's🙂. What he does with blending CF 😘.
I'm a very big fan of Andy Ericksons and his collection of wines. Is it just me… has his collection of wines gotten considerably better over the years?!? Can't imagine not receiving these gems several times a year. Hoping he's coming out with a Chardonnay in the upcoming years. (It might just be rumors) I'll cross my fingers anyway.
