GUINIGI

Bella Union 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley ($80)

Fresh aromas of blueberry pie, garrigue, Worcestershire, and espresso kept us mesmerized. This is Rutherford at its core, although the grapes are also sourced from Oak Knoll District, St. Helena, adding their own components for texture and complexity. Cherry and cherrywood round out along creamy, streamlined tannins. The four other Bordeaux varieties are added in small quantities. Aged in 50% new French oak for 17 months.
