Note di degustazione
(100% cabernet sauvignon) Bright medium ruby. Black cherry, mocha and nutty oak on the sweet but subdued nose. Big, rich, broad and sweet yet somehow light on its feet. A bit less fruity than the Bard but ultimately more complex, even if this will require a bit of aging to absorb its nutty oak component. Finishes with lovely ripe tannins and excellent persistence.

From a cooler site, the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard exhibits notes of mint, black currants, cherries, and licorice. This dark purple-hued, medium to full-bodied effort reveals an attractive texture as well as an elegant mouthfeel (reminiscent of a Margaux). It should drink well for 10-15+ years. Previously recommended: 2004 The Bard (94), 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon (94), 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard (91), 2004 The Tempest (91). Tel.

Good deep ruby. Black raspberry, roasted meat and some sweet oak on the nose. Broad, lush and sweet but with a more rustic texture than the Bard and To Kalon cuvees Very tactile, powerfully structured wine that finishes with huge, slightly tough tannins. A bit unrefined today: is this too structured for its own good? Today I give the edge to the 2004 version.
