Farella 'Alta' Red 2016

95 Points Wine Advocate

The 2016 Red Blend Alta is composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 2% Malbec. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it sings of crushed black cherries, warm mulberries, baked plums and cassis with hints of candied violets, spice cake and bay leaves with a waft of wilted roses. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers softly textured, juicy black fruit layers and plenty of fragrant sparks, finishing long and beautifully poised.
