Bella Union crafts artfully blended Napa Valley wines that display depth, complexity, and balance in every pour. Guided by the expertise of Far Niente Wine Estates, and a dedication to sustainable and socially responsible practices, Bella Union wines create synergy in the glass by marrying terroir, grape variety, and time-honored winemaking traditions into a singular whole. Since its founding, Bella Union has focused solely on crafting the best possible blended wines from Bordeaux varieties and top-tier vineyards across Napa Valley, a tradition the winery continues today.
The name Bella Union is an homage to the historic Bella Union Railway located on Bella Oaks Lane — Bella Union’s original home. In addition to the original 25- acre vineyard on Bella Oaks Lane, a second 50-acre site just to the North was acquired in 2017, further cementing its Rutherford roots and providing a home for the future Bella Union Winery. Located on the Rutherford bench, this site provides prime exposure and allows for optimum ripeness while still acquiring the desired tannin characteristics that the area is famous for.
From the winery - "The 2022 Bella Union Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon begins with enticing aromas of black cherry, cassis, and cedar. On the palate, rich flavors of ripe plum, dark chocolate, and hints of vanilla mingle seamlessly with well-integrated tannins, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This wine showcases the classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon characteristics with elegance and finesse, promising to evolve beautifully with age."
Absolutely love Yalumba Viognier The Virilgus that we were introduced to by OWS Wine.
Bryan at OWS introduced us to this wine we had never had before. Knowing that I prefer dry whites, Bryan thought I would like it. He was wrong, I love it! We initially bought six bottles and came back for a case! No sweet after taste I find common in Viogniers.
