WINE DESCRIPTION
Farella Vineyards Merlot is a premium wine produced by Farella Vineyards, a family-owned winery located in the Coombsville AVA of Napa Valley. The vineyard features volcanic soils and a cool climate, which allows for slow ripening and optimal flavor development. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and sorting the grapes, followed by fermentation in small batches and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Merlot, with aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, and a rich, velvety texture. It is a perfect pairing for hearty dishes like roasted meats and stews.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Merlot from Farella Vineyards offers a rich and inviting nose of dark berry fruits, mocha, and subtle oak aromas.On the palate, it is full-bodied, with a juicy and concentrated core of dark berry and plum flavors, accented by a hint of baking spices. The finish is long and lush, with a lingering hint of sweet oak. Balanced and elegant, it is a pleasure to drink.
