I joined the bella wine club and thought I would give this blend another try. I like the 2012 better than the 2010. On the nose I get a cherry cough syrup. On the palate is black cherry, anise and ripping tannins. I love bella wines, enough to join their club, but this one is still not my favorites.

Good flavor notes, but a little too dry for me. Delicious for Thanksgiving!

Nose of cherry, anis and earth. On the palate cherry, anis, vanilla and oak. Strong wine that overpowers the finish. $29.99 at total wine. Not my favorite Bella wine which I usually love.

Usually only available via the vineyard or their wine club. Now available at TOTAL Wine. Bella goes big time. Hope the quality doesn't drop.
