Black fruited, sandy tannin, oak driven spice. Gorgeous Marg river cab sav and would have rated higher but toward the end the oak started to distract a little. — 10 years ago

A grab bag of floral and citrus aromatics. Given how young this wine is the palate does not have the same openness that the nose has. Bright acidity and excellent balance. — 8 years ago

Alta Napa Valley Red Blend 2007

Shay A

9.4

During the month of January, the Wednesday Wine Committee has a unique format...the sparkler, whites and dessert wines can be from any vintage and any location, but the reds must be from the 2007 vintage. It was my first time providing a wine for a lunch, so I was excited to see how it showed. As always, all wines were served blind.

This was a treat for me to be able to serve. Tom Farella only produces this Alta bottle in special years. The ‘07 was his last one before he brought it back in ‘14. Cabernet dominated blend complimented by a bit of merlot from the famed Farella vineyard. Supremely balanced. Raspberries, plums and blackberries on the nose and palate, but the finish was plush. This is about at its peak and will stay here for another 3 or so years. Oak was almost fully integrated. Very happy to have two of these still sleeping. This was the group’s consensus “wine of the day”. — 8 years ago

Great to hear that it killed!

@Shay Aldriedge we lean toward mountain fruit and riper valley floor fruit from oakville to calistoga (for cab). I haven't had much other coombsville cab. A julian fayard cab and silverado stuff. Ok but didnt seek it out again. Farella vineyard definitely has been an exception for good cab. Still gotta try farella's own wines.

Aaron Means

The Vineyard makes exceptional fruit from year to year even though being in a pretty cool area. Farella's own wines are very good as well. I believe Michael Trujillo makes the wines.
