Winemaker Selection

Your case of Winemaker's Picks include:

2022 Bella Essence | 92 points | Owen Bargreen
"Bright minerality alongside red raspberry and pomegranate seed flavors that mingle well with red currants and citrus rind accents. Nicely textured, this is seriously good stuff!" 

2018 Ten Acre Ritchie Vineyard Horseshoe Block Chardonnay | 96 points | Wine Enthusiast
"This supremely concentrated and lively wine expertly balances energizing acidity against wonderful ripeness and richness. Subtle almond, butter and vanilla aromas meet lime, mint, and butterscotch flavors on a full body, with a mouth filling texture and lingering finish.”  —James Gordon 

2019 Ten Acre Earl Stephens Vineyard Pinot Noir | 95 points | Wine Enthusiast 
"Beautiful, edgy flavors of rhubarb and sour cherries join ripe black cherries in this powerfully fruity wine. Savory touches of pine and mint add extra interest, while subtle oak spices from 35% new French barrels hardly intrude on the fruit. Light tannins and good balance make it especially mouth-watering"  —James Gordon
 
2019 Lily Hill zinfandel | 93 points | Wine + Spirits
"Lily Hill is Bella’s home vineyard on West Dry Creek Road, with zinfandel plantings that date as far back as 1915 and as recently as 2001. Meaty blueberry richness and floral highlights show off the old-vine concentration and depth of character. It has the structural tension to develop for five years or more"  —Joshua Greene
 
2019 Rocky Ridge zinfandel | 95 points | Wine Enthusiast
"This bold, complex wine smells like fresh blackberries and cracked black pepper before turning darker, more meaty and savory on the palate. Great concentration, handsome oak spices, a mouth-filling texture and lingering finish top off its outstanding expression of site and varietal." Cellar Selection —James Gordon 
 
2019 Dupratt Vineyard zinfandel | 94 points | Wine Enthusiast
"This bold and complex wine made from 100-year-old vines is laced with herb and spice aromas from thyme to rosemary and wood smoke, on top of vivid blackberry and black-cherry flavors. A full body and moderate tannins give a great mouthfeel while black-pepper and wild-sage kick in on the finish." Editors’ Choice —James Gordon
