Bella Union Winery creates beautiful connections in wine and life

Created by the Far Niente Winery Partners in 2012

Bella Union was born from our winemakers’ curiosity to explore the art of blending. In Napa Valley’s storied Rutherford district, we’re writing a new chapter where the most beautiful connection is yours to make.

Beautiful expressions with every sip at Bella Union wines

Bella Union focuses on crafting the best possible blended wines in Napa Valley, creating an intriguing combination of depth, complexity, and balance in every pour. Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is often the star, but it harmonizes wonderfully with a medley of other distinguished varietals.

Winemaking Philosophy

Winemaker Brooke Price aims to craft captivating wines of elegance and depth with a liveliness that lifts all senses and conversations. Like every Far Niente family winemaker, she believes in the highest standards of winemaking, starting with a beautiful, biodiverse vineyard that is farmed sustainably and with precision. Capturing the spirit of each vineyard is her North Star—an approach she learned making single-vineyard wines at Nickel & Nickel. Then, the art form of blending every Bella Union wine takes the wheel.

Blending is the passport to the beautiful union we strive for in every bottle—wines with polish, radiant fruit, texture, and joie de vivre. A blend of different vineyards, grapes, fermentation vessels, and barrels results in wines that are elegant and glamorous, yet smooth and versatile.

Cabernet Sauvignons

Bella Union Cabernet Sauvignons embody the beautiful union that we capture in every bottle—layers of juicy, red fruit flavors, a polished, silky texture, and plush tannins. Winemaker Brooke Price makes it her mission to highlight Rutherford’s beautiful red fruit and cocoa powder notes in every vintage. Our philosophy of blending Cabernet Sauvignon with other harmonious red varietals makes Bella Union the belle of the ball when it comes to food pairing.

Red Blends

Bella Union’s distinctive red blends are crafted to capture the spirit of the legendary French wines that inspire their creation. Winemaker Brooke Price’s collection of small-batch wines each offer a distinct personality in the glass—yet they share a common bond of Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon and the stirring taste of elegance, depth, and liveliness that make every bottle of Bella Union a conversation companion.

Shop White Blends

Our curiosity to experiment with new grapes found the perfect muse in Far Niente’s newest vineyard, Grand Sky. Tiny blocks of Pinot Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier—grapes found in some of southern France’s most intriguing white wines—provide our winemaker with a playground of aromatics, flavors, and textures for Bella Union’s white blends. Each wine is quintessentially Bella Union: elegant, vibrant, and versatile with a beautiful seamlessness.
