From Coombsville's distinguished Farella Vineyard, this single-vineyard expression showcases the distinctive character of the site: savory minerals, graphite, and herbaceous complexity beneath ripe black fruit. Deep garnet in color, with intensely scented crushed currants, blackberries, violets, wild thyme, cigar box, and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied palate packed with crunchy black-berry flavors and herbal spark, grounded by rock-solid, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness. Limited to 250 cases.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard is just as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel. Vertical and towering in feel, the 2016 has so much to offer. In this tasting, the 2016 reminds me of the 2013, but with more fruit slightly friendlier tannins, both of which make it a real pleasure to taste, even in the early going. All of the savory and mineral character that makes Farella such a distinctive site runs through this vivid, super-expressive Cabernet. Don't miss it." —Antonio Galloni

"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard is intensely scented of crushed red and black currants, warm black plums and fresh blackberries with touches of violets, wild thyme, cigar box and cardamom plus a waft of dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, the palate is completely packed with crunchy black berry flavors and tons of herbal sparks, with a rock-solid, grainy line of tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and perfumed." —Lisa Perrotti-Brown

"Rather wonderful, complex, glowing dark garnet. Sweet and ripe and recognisably Napa but by no means heavy or exaggerated. Not quite a subtle as a Corison or Spottswoode but a good wine that is already drinking well. Tannins almost imperceptible."

Wine Enthusiast

"From a fantastic vintage, vineyard and winemaker, this small-production offering sings in cedar, pencil shavings and dried herb de Provence. Dusty mineral components ride beneath a core of black currant and olive, the tannin and oak profile measured and well-integrated, leaving ample room for classic elegance and structure to speak"
