Product Description
RP98 "Richer, denser and darker than either the 2022 or 2023, the 2021 Quella is a powerhouse example of the wine derived from this vineyard, which lies just behind Joseph Phelps off Taplin Road in the hills east of Saint Helena. Concentrated black cherries are accented by hints of dried sage and tea leaves, supported by soft tannins. This medium- to full-bodied superstar should drink well within a few years and easily last for two decades." JC for TWA May 2026
JS98 Roses and blackcurrants with pine nuts and hints of graphite, nuts and brick. Medium-bodied with very firm and muscular tannins, yet they are polished and balanced. Hints of chocolate and cocoa. Tight center palate. Needs time to soften and come together
LP97 Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Quella springs from the glass with vibrant notes of black raspberries, freshly crushed blackcurrants, and fresh boysenberries followed by hints of red roses, cinnamon stick, and fallen leaves. The full-bodied palate delivers a firm backbone of grainy tannins and seamless freshness to support the taut, muscular red and black fruit layers, finishing on a lingering earthy note.
DR97 Beautifully fragrant nose of sagebrush and tangerine peel. Medium to full-bodied with a black-fruited richness that builds through currants and Bing cherry fruit that penetrates deep into the mid-palate, nuanced by graphite and clove, framed by robust tannins and a stark mineral quality that fuels the long, fresh finish. The Quella vineyard, southeast of Melbury off Tapling Road, is planted on well-draining volcanic, sandy soils flecked with cobblestones.
