Farella 2001 Alta Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot (Napa Valley)
-
$50
One of the last released 2001 Cabs. At five years, the wine is good, but tannic, acidic and hot. From such a great vintage, you have to wonder why. Was it picked too early? It might go somewhere, because there’s some fruit down in there, but for now, it’s way too expensive for what you get.
