CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2017 Quella comes from a steep, southwest-facing vineyard in the eastern Vaca hillsides, just up from Joseph Phelps's winery and Denali Estate. Deep garnet-purple colored, it explodes with bombastic scents of stewed plums, boysenberries, creme de cassis and kirsch plus hints of black truffles, tar and damp soil. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, jam-packed with blackberry and plum preserves flavors with lots of savory nuances on the long finish.

Quella is a derivation of the German word for a pristine source or an artesian aquifer. This comes from a 9-acre site in Spring Valley in the eastern hills above the heart of the Napa Valley. The steep, south-west-facing site rising from 433 to 595 feet is an ancient riverbed composed of cobble and rocks interwoven with pockets of tufa (volcanic ash) that were uplifted during the last volcanic activity in the area. Still no geographical clues on the label! Pretty sweet at first and then it tightens on the finish. Quite muscular and not quite ready.
