Producer notes: "[$80 list] The 2016 Bella Union opens with inviting aromas of black cherry, dark plum, blueberry, and cassis with intimations of warm oak, vanilla, and baking spices. Expansive, fruit-forward plum, black cherry and blueberry flavors coat the midpalate, followed by notes of toasted oak, cinnamon and nutmeg. Supple tannins and bright acidity pave the way to a mouthwatering finish. Barrel aged 16 months in French oak (69% new, 31% once-used). Alcohol 14.5%."
Not yet reviewed; 2015 vintage rated 94 points by Wine Enthusiast: "Fermented in stainless steel, then aged 16 months in French oak (60% new), this wine is brightly aromatic in tones of cherry, cassis and spicy clove. Supple and integrated on the palate, it has depth at its core, with an intense ripe berry flavor. Alcohol 14.5%."
