Realm Cellars Farella Vineyard 2015 (750ML)

98 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon coming from a vineyard in the relatively cooler AVA of Coombsville, the opaque purple-black colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard reveals notes of spice cake, star anise and cloves over a core of warm plums, red and black currants and black olives, plus a hint of iron ore. The medium to full-bodied, taut, firmly structured palate gives up vibrant fruit and a long, mineral-laced finish." 10/17

97+ Points, Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com: "From a cooler site in Coombsville, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard tastes like the essence of Cabernet Sauvignon. Pauillac-like notes of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, crushed rocks, and cedar all emerge from this full-bodied, focused, gorgeously pure 2015 that tastes like a great vintage of Latour. It's one of the more fresh, focused, backward wines in the lineup so hide bottles for a few years." 12/17
