The growth in the early part of the year was very optimistic, leading to a generous bloom. We were very strict during the fruit-thinning phase before veraison, allowing the vines to progress without undue stress until harvest, which began in late September.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \n\n\u003cp\u003eMineral aromas are an ode to this ancient hillside riverbed. There is an uncharacteristic richness that unfolds and builds, before branching into delicate laterals that diffuse effortlessly. The weave of the wine is open-knit, while the finish is seamless, enlivened from within by a fine harmonic vibrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCRITICAL ACCLAIM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e98 points James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlackberry and blueberry aromas and flavors with some conifer and stone. Full-to medium-bodied with firm, dusty tannins that are fine and intense. Clarity to this wine.

There's terrific depth here and tons of class. Blood orange, game, licorice, tobacco, lavender and dried herbs give the Quella beguiling aromatic presence to play off its muscular, brooding personality. The 2018 needs a few years to soften, but it is already compelling, to say the least. (AG, 10\/2021)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e95-97 points Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA barrel sample, the 2018 Quella has a deep garnet-purple color and opens with the most gorgeous perfume of violets, red and black plums, Morello cherries and cassis plus hints of iron ore and crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers lovely energy and tension, framed by fine-grained tannins and finishing with beautiful purity. Quella comes from a steep, southwest-facing vineyard in the eastern Vaca hillsides, just up from Joseph Phelps's winery and Denali Estate.
