Favia, Cerro Sur, Napa Valley, California, USA, 2015

In a vintage when many wineries produced overripe or baked wines, this has a wonderfully fresh, fragrant, and lively nose, with cherry and blackberry aromas. The attack is fresh too, with ample concentration and flesh, and no excessive extraction. There are firm tannins to give structure, but it's well balanced, with an elegant, long and lifted finish.
