Favia Erickson Winegrowers is a collaboration between Annie Favia and Andy Erickson. Our philosophy is simple: create soulful wines that express the true nature of the vineyards from which they come. We focus on finding unique vineyard sites with soils, climate and aspects ideal for growing exquisite wine grapes, and develop strong relationships with our winegrowers to perfect viticultural practices. In the winery, we carefully coax the grapes into wine. Gentle handling, minimal intervention, and strict monitoring of the wine allow our grapes to speak for themselves.

Ultimately, we unite science, art and nature to produce unparalleled wines, each with its own distinct character.

I began working for David Abreu Vineyard Management in 1998. For the next 11 years, I worked closely with him and his incredible crew to direct vineyard establishment and development for some of the most highly regarded vineyard sites in the Napa Valley. Andy and I began Favia Wines in 2003, and as of 2009, it garners my full focus. Our philosophy involves working with each carefully chosen vineyard site, learning how to achieve natural, balanced and unique expression of the fruit. Although we pay strict attention to detail, and we understand that we can control our cultural practices and always strive to improve them, Mother Nature reigns supreme. We must be in balance with the order of nature

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
