Coming from the Rocks district of Walla Walla, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Bellamy is based on 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Malbec, all raised in 68% new French oak. It has a great nose of dark berry, almost blueberry-like fruits as well as ample tobacco leaf, damp earth, baking spices, and chocolaty oak. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and concentrated, it has velvety tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. It needs 2-4 years to integrate its oak (it's undeniably delicious today) and will have 15-20 years of longevity, if not longer. Best After 2024

The 2019 Bellamy is a delightful blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot, with 7% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec. On the nose this takes on layers of bright dark fruits with chocolate and coffee ground accents. The palate is extremely elegant and refined, revealing layers of dark currants, kirsch and flinty undertones that mingle with good freshness and salinity. Glorious in its youth, this has another decade or more ahead of it.

Winemaker Notes

The name Bellamy is taken from "Belle Amie," or beautiful friend and features the object of Stanley’s affection on the label, where he can be seen on the outside of the wall, handing her a bouquet of flowers.
