From the cool climate, rocky terroir of Coombsville, the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard plays it close to the vest. Black cherry, black currant, menthol, and spice box aromas emerge from this structured, delineated, medium-bodied, elegant wine. It should age nicely for 10-15 years.
Previously recommended: 2003 The Bard (93), 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard (93), 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard (91), 2003 The Tempest (91+).
