2018 Bella Vida Vineyard Clonal Cuvée - Pommard/Wädenswil Pinot Noir
The Clonal Selection Series is a collection of small bottlings that reveal the nuanced differences between the Pommard and Wädenswil clones. We were intrigued by the finesse of Pommard and the structure of Wädenswil and how these clones perform together to clearly express their unique terroir. The fruit for these bottlings was sourced from the Bella Vida Vineyard in the Dundee Hills; one of our favorite sites.
The Clonal Cuvée is a well-balanced blend of red and blue fruits atop a firm structure that combines the strength of Wädenswil with the finesse of Pommard.
Extremely limited release exclusive to the 2018 vintage.

J. Christopher 92 points 2017 Bella Vida Vineyard Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills). A blend of Pommard and Wadenswil clones, this is a finesse wine with a floral nose and pretty though light cherry fruit flavors. It’s framed with orange citrus and finished with tannins that taste of chamomile tea. —P.G.
