Description:
Nestled in the eastern hills of Napa Valley, the 9-acre Quella vineyard sits on a steep, southwest-facing slope composed of cobble, rocks, and pockets of tufa (volcanic ash). This unique terroir gives the wine its signature minerality and precision. The 2020 vintage is a beautifully expressive example, balancing bright blue fruit, graphite, and a refined, energetic finish.
Tasting Notes
Color: Deep garnet-purple.
Nose: Lifted savory notes of sagebrush and thyme with blackberry and cherry fruits, nuanced by crushed stone minerality, tobacco, and black olive.
Palate: Medium-bodied with a saline mineral tinge to the red berry fruits, firm and very fine-grained tannins, and a vibrant freshness.
Finish: Long and layered, leaving a lingering mineral impression.
Accolades
