2005 Bella Oaks Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Sold Out
2005 was quite cool heading into harvest, and the vintage was forged by a flawless Indian summer that gave more-than-ample hangtime. Remarkably young, the 2005 blooms from the glass with notes of boysenberry, sweet redcurrant liqueur, plums, and boysenberry, with complicating aromas of anise, tobacco, and cedar. Drink this beauty now and over the next ten years.
2006 Bella Oaks Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Sold Out
2006 was a very cool, very late harvest in the valley and the 2006 Bella Oaks turned out beautifully. Red roses, spicy poached blackcurrants, blackberries, black raspberries, and black cherry all align seamlessly with notes of keemun black tea, baking spices like nutmeg and cocoa, and a brushstroke of mint and cedar. Still vibrant and youthful, we can see this going another 10-15 years.
2007 Bella Oaks Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Less Than 9 Bottles Remain
The final vintage of Bella Oaks, this cool summer came to an end with a classic Labor Day heat spike that hastened picking for some. A great success, 2007 was the vintage we picked as the best Martha’s vintage of the decade. 2007 Bella Oaks boasts notes of cool, dusty, dark black fruit like plums and black cherries, plus a faint eucalyptus note and graphite. Still so youthful, this wine has at least another decade to 20 years to go.
