WINE DESCRIPTION
Farella Vineyards is a family-owned winery and one of the pioneers of the cooler Coombsville AVA in the Napa Valley. The vineyard features volcanic soils and a cool climate, which allows for slow ripening and retention of acidity. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting, small-batch fermentation, and aging in French oak barrels for 20 months. The resulting wine is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon, with rich flavors of blackberry, cassis, and mint, balanced by firm tannins and a long, elegant finish. This wine is a perfect choice for those seeking a high-quality, full-bodied red wine with a sense of place and history.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Deep purple in color and with intense notes of juicy blackcurrant, blackberry, and mint this wine immediately shows more elegance than many Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from warmer subregions.The palate is generous with firm, chalky tannins. Cedar notes from oak add complexity to the wine and the finish is long. In youth, the more restrained fruit ripeness, for California, means that the vibrant acidity and firm tannins can dominate the palate but they will integrate with a few years of cellaring for a truly delightful wine.
