Napa Valley, California, United States
$99.95 (014074)
Founded in 2012 by the partners of Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel, Bella Union is intended to produce a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon each vintage from estate vineyards and contracted fruit. The concentrated and flavourful 2017 cabernet’s blend includes malbec, cabernet franc and petit verdot from vineyard blocks across the Napa Valley. This is a robust and rewarding red wine, marked by 16 months aging in mostly new French oak barrels, with bright dark fruit flavours and spice and cocoa notes. Built for the cellar, this promises to show its best after some bottle age. Drink 2022 – 2030. Highly Recommended. (93/100)
