Rutherford dust typicity, beautiful opaque, dense ruby/purple color, a classic sweet nose of blackcurrants, licorice and sweet oak. Elegant fresh raspberry, blueberry and cherry notes carry through the mid pallet. The wine finishes with long velvety sweet tannin, bittersweet chocolate and raspberry. Rich, broad and flavorful with good acidity, the wine is accessible, but should age effortlessly for 20 or more years.

An aromatic lift of fresh cherry, dry thyme and toasted black peppercorn abound from the glass. On the palate, flavors of black cherry and plum compote frame the heart of this wine. Firm tannins, balanced acidity and compelling layers of semi sweet chocolate and dark roast espresso beans defines the long and layered finish of this wine.

The Bello Family Vineyards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a delightful expression of its origin, showcasing a harmonious balance of fruit, earth, and acidity.

duck, grilled salmon, or a selection of earthy cheeses. Enjoy!
