Product Description
AG98 "The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard is positively stellar. Dark fruit, savory herbs, leather, licorice and menthol race out of the glass. Powerful and vertical, with serious intensity, the 2021 is a super-classic Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon. All the elements are so well balanced. Graphite, incense and a whole range of mineral/savory tones linger on the brooding finish. Specifically, the tannins are incredibly refined—quite an achievement for this site. A dollop of Merlot likely contributes to tha.t" AG for VM Dec 2023
JS98 "Lots of black currant and lead pencil shaving aromas here. Full-bodied with very fine tannins with a freshness and brightness. Some graphite and magnet shavings, too. Juicy and flavorful. Coombsville magic here. 95% cabernet sauvignon and 5% merlot." JS Nov 2023
LP97+ "The 2021 Farella Cabernet Sauvignon, with 5% Merlot in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. It rolls out with playful notes of blueberry compote, chocolate mint, and blackcurrant jelly followed by hints of iris bulb, allspice, and vanilla pod. The full-bodied palate offers chunky, rounded tannins and just enough freshness to support the spicy black fruits, finishing long and perfumed." LPB for TWI Feb 2024
