| Winery: | Bella |
| Region: | USA » California » Sonoma County » Dry Creek Valley |
| Varietal: | Zinfandel |
| Type: | Table Wines |
Low on the nose and gently sweet, with beautifully pure brambly berry fruit that seeps up from the glass. There’s some oak spice here as well, but it lacks the sweetness that one commonly finds in Zin, taking on more of a prosciutto/ savory tone than b...

Is it me, or are oaky chards out of fashion? Nowadays most every producer I encounter boasts about their stainless steel tanks. All I want to experience with my Chardonnay is toast with a big ol' pad of melted butter on top. Can anyone recommend some excellent oaky chard producers? Thanks! Read More

Yep, OT is right, the last time I had Turley I bought some old vintages for a ... more Bucklin or grab some Bella--something that has a story. That said, even those old school Turleys were nothing to laugh at--they outclassed most of the wines people brought to the tasting. But my comment is probably dated, and I did recommend those wines an... Read More

Emark's recommendations are spot-on, esp because you are outside the Zin ... ... about. I'd add Bella, Talty, Unti, Gracianna, Carlisle, Williams-Selyem (that last one might be available near you) to my list. Also Ulises Valdez, Nalle, and Preston. Not too far away in Sonoma Valley, Bucklin has the oldest vines of almost every sort, and a Z... Read More

Michelle, I live about a one hour's drive from Temecula. Sad to say, ... ... that you mentioned the Bella Piazza Primitivo. A couple weeks ago I picked up a 2009 Primitivo and a 2009 Zinfandel both produced by DiArie. I know this will not be definitive, but I want to see what the same maker does with these two grapes that are genetically i... Read More

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have not been to C.G. DiArie. I was ... of that winery when it was Bella Piazza and I loved their Primitivo. I checked out the website and read about the new owner. Guess I will have to go visit! Both the wineries you mention are a little farther north from me. I live in Sonora and I am more familiar with t... Read More
