Owner Daniel Ferelli is nicknamed Big Papa by his friends and family, but this Big Papa Cabernet Sauvignon is likely named for his father, who was also called Big Papa. Daniel is Italian and friendly, the kind of guy people just like. Big Papa, the wine, is quite similar. It is fruit-forward with good balance and subtle spiciness — a crowd pleaser for most with enough complexity for those that want to dive into the nerdy details.
