2017 BELLA 95pt Pinot Noir 750 ml
2017 Bella Pinot Noir
The 2017 wines started fermentation and finished barrel ageing beautifully clean, going from barrel to bottle unfiltered; rich, distinct and elegant in the glass. The Bella Pinot noir aromatics speak of wild strawberries, fresh cut hay, hints of soft chocolate, leather and lavender. The approach is lush, bright and balanced in the mouth with its expressive red fruit lifted by savory tannins balancing a vibrant acidity. This wine will benefit from time in the bottle ageing beautifully through 2040.

"Bella shows off with briary aromas of sweet, ripe red cherries and the scent of a warm raspberry turnover straight from the oven. The wine’s texture is smooth and elegant, with integrated tannins and acidity that caresses instead of tickling. A tart marionberry flavor melds beautifully with notes of thyme, nutmeg, and cedar" - Michael Alberty
