Bella Union Store

The 2021 Bella Union Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, a testament to meticulous winemaking techniques and a commitment to excellence, displays a gorgeous inky hue in the glass with alluring aromas of blackberry, plum, and fig. Flashy with seductive allure, it unveils a symphony of black currants, black cherries, and figs,
further accented by subtle notes of candied blackberry. Supported by an elegant oak framework, this wine’s power is finely balanced, while the addition of 3% Petit Verdot imparts a muscularity that elevates its already impressive structure, leaving a long, lingering finish. Crafted in partnership with Consulting Winemaker
Thomas Rivers Brown, every step of its creation is a testament to our commitment to excellence and the highest quality

An artful blend of three distinguished Rutherford vineyard sources, each contributing to its exceptional quality and character. Beginning with the Bella Union Winery estate vineyard on the Western Bench with its unique microclimate and well-drained soils, resulting in Cabernet grapes of remarkable depth and complexity, to a pedigreed vineyard on the eastern side of Rutherford, renowned for its historical significance and prime location, yields grapes with intense flavors and impeccable balance, showcasing the essence of Rutherford’s terroir. Finally, a touch of Petit Verdot from our estate vineyard on Bella Oaks Lane adds an aromatic lift and structural backbone, enhancing the wine’s overall profile with its distinctive character. Every component is meticulously selected to highlight the essence of Rutherford’s finest fruit.
