Bella Union Winery
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
A delicious Napa Cabernet Sauvignon from the house of Far Niente. Fruit forward and spicy.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, light herbs, chocolates, tobacco and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
Still young, but already enjoyable even by itself, and will continue to age nicely in the 10 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
Wine Enthusiasts 93 points.
Rich and extracted. Tangy and interesting. A delicious sipping wine.
A blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petite Verdot.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$60.

Delightful #napa #cabernetsauvignon ; expected jammy bramble fruit aromas backed by cigar box, leather undertones. Balanced with noticeable bright tartness to offset fruit, dried spices mid palate, grippy tannins on the finish.

Medium ruby with a nose of red fruits and vanilla. Maybe some dusty notes as well. Medium body with adequate fruit, acidity, and tannin structure for its frame. Reasonable finish as well. Picked this up for $50 and I’d say it it delivers an $85+ experience.

Deep sultry can with delicate tannins. I get a little blackberry, dark cherry, oak and something herby. Love.

Solid QPR at $50 - nothing special, just good.

The fruit is very bright. This is a 2018. Age should soften it nicely.
