Description

From our site at the foot of the Vaca
Mountains in the heart of Coombsville
comes our 2009 Terrace Reserve Cabernet
Sauvignon, a lot blended for every Premiere
Napa Valley since the very beginning. Our
Rockpile and Old Vine blocks complement
each other perfectly, resulting in a wine of
ample, textured tannins and earthy midpalate
characteristic of the area. The Old
Vine block goes back to our original planting
in 1979, while the Rockpile went in during
the Renaissance of the early ’90s.

Winemaker, Farella Vineyard

Winemaker, Tom Farella

Tom Farella's original inspiration to enter the wine trade began as a youngster at the dinner table and was later fortified by a family trip to France and some gentle prodding by father Frank. He graduated from UC Davis in 1983 with a degree in Viticulture and Enology while holding down weekend and harvest work with Neyers Vineyards and Flora Springs Winery. His first real job was as winemaker at Preston in Sonoma County which he left after six years to work in Burgundy for Domaine Jacques Prieur in Meursault. The work/travel bug persisted, so he then worked in Oregon for a harvest at Ponzi Winery, then in the vineyard for Beaux Freres. It was after these rich experiences in 1990 that he came back to Farella Vineyard full time.

Country born: United States
