Why We Stock It

Coombsville has emerged as one of Napa's most consistent sources for structured Cabernet at fair pricing, and Farella's take shows why. The wine balances ripe fruit with mineral tension and doesn't lean on oak to impress, making it food-friendly now but cellaring-ready for the next decade.

Tasting Profile

This Cabernet reads as classic Napa without pretense: dark fruit, mineral detail, and well-managed structure.

• Aroma: Ripe blackberry, plum, hint of graphite and cedar
• Palate: Blackberry, plum, cedar, mineral undertone
• Structure & Finish: Firm tannins, well-integrated, smooth and lingering finish

Winemaking

Barrel-aged in a proportion of new and neutral oak, the tannins are refined enough that the wine is approachable young but built to evolve with time in bottle.

Serving & Pairing

Serve at 62 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit. This wine doesn't require decanting but benefits from 15 minutes of open-air time. Pair it with beef short ribs or herb-crusted lamb, or simply roasted duck breast with cherry gastrique. The mineral spine and restrained oak make it equally at home at a casual dinner table as at a more formal one.

The Estate

Farella is a Napa grower and producer focused on the Coombsville appellation, working vineyard sites selected for balance and structure rather than maximum ripeness.

Terroir

Coombsville sits on the eastern bench of Napa Valley, cooler than the valley floor and blessed with well-drained volcanic and alluvial soils. The elevation and diurnal temperature swings preserve acidity in the fruit while allowing full phenolic ripeness, a combination that naturally yields Cabernet with both power and restraint.
