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. Drink after 2027.
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 that.
