Like the 2023 release, this 2024 shows the warmer side of the later part of the harvest, with ripe fruit emphasised through this wine's characteristic brooding, powerful, compact profile. I personally lean more toward the 2024, as it balances slightly ripe fruit that errs into the blue-black spectrum with plenty of underlying savoury character that is less earthy and more graphite-mineral-rich. The tannins are more lithe and the finish more fruit-driven, but with the right tannic tapestry to support it all. I think the 2023 will come around later in life, but the 2024 is the one to drink now. The 2024 PELLA is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley's Oak Knoll District AVA. Winemaker Kristof Nils Anderson hand-farms two one-acre vineyard plots without pesticides or herbicides to make the wine. The wine was aged for two years in 100% French oak.
