| Chateau/Producer: | Guenoc | | Wine Name: | Bella Vista Vinyard Cabernet Sauvignon | | Country: | USA | | State: | California | | AOC: | Napa Valley | | Region: | Middletown, CA | | Wine Score: | 92 | | Notes: | Eleven years old and only a slight trace of age in the purplish color of this rich wine; the nose explodes with nuances of cherry-flavored jolly rancher candy, mature, rich dark fruits with hints of plum & leather; nicely balanced with with fruit being a little ahead of the tannins. | | Tasting Date: | 2004-08-02 | | Varietal: | Cabernet | | Production Notes: | The lovely Bella Vista Napa Valley Vineyard is located on a steep slope facing Calistoga with Sonoma Valley at its back. Soils are well-drained, rocky and rich in calcium. The coolnesss of the climate allows a long ripening period culminating in a late harvest, which encourages intense cherry, chocolate and leather tones. |
