Bella Vigna (“Beautiful Vines”) bottling is a Sonoma Coast blend. Juicy strawberry and cherry fruit, with baking spice. — 4 months ago
At first I found this medium bodied, slightly creamy, with prominent stone fruits, white peach and cumquat, with a prominent minerality and slight notes of cheesecake on the nose. Now it’s emerging much more dry with air, still a long, mineral driven palate, still medium bodied, but beautifully balanced and definitely a contract to many California white wines when it comes to complexity and nuance. — 7 months ago
Enjoyable light Cab Sav, heavy aromas of cherry on the nose, not as robust and heavy/chewy as most Napa Cabs, but still a solid finish once it fully opens up. — 2 months ago
Favorite Chardonnay up to date. — 8 months ago

Sipping Fine Wine
Ruby color, purple edges, with pronounced aromas of red fruits, floral, herbs and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry, ripe plum and black cherry with orange citrus, herbs, vanilla and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with fruit, vanilla, floral, spice and oaky tones. Very Nice! Will age!
