Tasting notes
Marked by hints of cedar and vanilla on the nose—the favored cooper here is Taransaud, about 50% new—the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard also delivers plenty of cherry and cassis notes. It's medium to full-bodied, silky and fine, with savory tones of black olive and mocha on the lingering finish.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard is a powerhouse. A wine of gravitas and muscle, the 2018 is endowed with serious intensity from start to finish. Wild cherry, plum, gravel, incense, dried herbs, gravel and mocha infuse the 2018 with tremendous character as well as nuance.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard is just as impressive as it was from barrel. A wine of tremendous gravitas and power, the Farella is endowed with so much personality. The darker side of this Coombsville site emerges with real power. Inky dark fruit, licorice, menthol, sage and lavender infuse with myriad layers of complexity. This is a reference point wine for Coombsville. In a word: magnificent.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard is an outrageously beautiful wine. This dense, plush, dark, and explosive wine is endowed with tremendous depth in its dark red cherry, blood orange, menthol, licorice and spice flavors. Vivid and mesmerizing with striking perfume, inner sweetness and fabulous balance, the 2018 is dazzling in its beauty. Wow!
