Paoletti Estates Winery
Bella Novello Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Mocha and chocolate dominated, rich, silky texture, ripe black fruits, lots of baking spices.

Feb 6th, 2015An opaque purple wine with oak and black fruit aromas mixed with hints of vanilla. Attack of sweet, creamy almost candied overripe plums. Evolves beyond this to reveal a slight spice such as a vague cinnamon or licorice. Drying tannins assert themselves in the mid-palate. Very long persistent finish. I like my Cab a bit more angular, less ripe with more acidity.

Sep 30th, 2014Sadly, last bottle of this go-to cab (thank you old friends at Royal Oak, MI, Cloverleaf Fine Wines). Lighter body, great berries, fresh fruit up front...perfect w Wagyu beef Osso Buco on a late fall chilly evening

Jun 27th, 2015I had this at an industry tasting event, many great wines, but this was a standout for me! Bold, but not overpowering, warm rich dark fruit. Balanced, silky tannins, warm finish, nearly everything I'm looking for in a big red.
