Wine Spectator Top 100: 2011 #35! This is truly a remarkable wine and consistently making the Wine spectator Top 100 list year after year! Last year the 2008 vintage was Wine spectator's #2 wine of 2010.What will the 2009 vintage bring? Perhaps wine of the year! A black with deep, deep red rim color. Aromas are restrained on release, with deep red fruits, dusty cinnamon spice, licorice and earth. Underneath are subtle notes of smoky cedar and chocolate. On the palate Tight and elegant from the start. Fine red fruits that gently roll through the palate, with earthy cedary notes. The fine tannins and acid support the mid to late palate and slowly all of the flavor and structure subsides evenly after a 60 second finish. The 2009 season was a glorious season and this Bella’s could be the best to date. Be patient.
