Conistency in Cabernet! Tara Bella (Olivet Lane)

Tara Bella makes some interesting cabernet based wines in the Russian River Valley!

Tried their 2012 and 2013 cabernets, and they still retained that freshness and lively character I found and enjoyed in the 2010. They had a blow out sale on their 2011 vintage, so we will see what that is like!

Their Petit Sirah shares the house style in a very good way. No blueberry oakshake here, this is all about bright feral fruit and earth. Impressive!
