The beginning of the 2022 growing season was exceptionally mild, with budbreak kicking off in March. By May, the vines began to demonstrate strong shoot growth and average crop yields ahead of veraison in mid- July. While we welcomed a few heat spikes during the summer months, our proactive approach to vineyard management allowed us not to be negatively impacted and we maintained great quality through heat mitigation preparation, including the use of shade cloths and misting systems, among others. Mild to moderate temps in August created optimal conditions allowing for bright and focused flavors.


Revel in a new kind of Far Niente wine club with Bella Union’s Belle Epoque Society, featuring a members-only lounge that celebrates the ambiance of France’s beautiful era in the heart of Napa Valley’s Rutherford district.

Napa Valley AVA is world-renowned for its diverse microclimates and rich soils, producing some of the world's finest wines. With over 16 sub-AVAs, it offers a rich palette of flavors, primarily excelling in Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

Fanning out around Bella Union Estate Winery, this vineyard is broken into almost a dozen blocks. Each block follows climate-smart farming practices that minimize water use, protect from overexposure to extreme temperatures and promote vine health and fruit integrity while maximizing grapevine health and flavor. The Bella Union Estate Vineyard is a western benchland site with gravelly loam soils that neighbors a protected wetland preserve. Cabernets grown here reward the palate with juicy, red fruit flavors, a polished, silky texture and a compelling cacao powder finish often referred to as “Rutherford Dust.”

“This well-polished, concentrated and refined wine has a quiet power that will help it age well. Graphite, blackcurrants, violets, pencil shavings and dark chocolate. So silky, black-fruited and elegant. Made from 84% cabernet sauvignon, largely from their estate vines in Rutherford, 7% malbec, 6% petit verdot, 2% merlot and 1% cabernet franc. Drinkable now, but best from 2028.”
