Tasting notes
Realm's 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard is underpinned by lovely notes of tension and salinity. Precise and chiseled, the 2011 stands out for its detail and nuance. The trademark Realm richness and texture are present, but also nicely balanced by the wine's energy.

A successful effort for the vintage, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella is nearly as good as the 2010. It exhibits plenty of red and black fruits intermixed with notions of crushed rocks, chocolate and earth. Enjoy it over the next decade. Tel. (707) 967-0227
The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard shows beautiful energy and focus. In this vintage, the Farella is bright, focused and vibrant, with tons of energy and class. Expressive, delineated aromatics mark the 2011. This is a terrific effort from one of the cooler and later maturing sites in Napa Valley.
