2018 Bella Vida Collection

One bottle each of the following:

2018 Bella Vida Single Vineyard Pinot Noir
The Bella Vida vineyard is one of our favorite sites in the heart of the Dundee Hills. With its deep red Jory clay and its stunning view of the Willamette Valley, this vineyard consistently produces exceptional fruit that captures the essence of this beautiful place on earth. The 2018 shows the richness and earthy complexity of the vintage, but still has the finesse and fine tannin structure that are characteristic of these hills.

The Clonal Selection Series

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 those 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.

2018 Bella Vida Clonal Selection- Pommard
This particular bottling is made entirely from the Pommard clone. Pommard is the most widely planted Pinot Noir clone in Oregon and is a classic Burgundy clone known for its elegance and finesse. This wine has brighter fruit aromas than the Wädenswil Clonal Selection Pinot Noir, with a lighter, juicer mid-palate. It has a seamless structure (no rough edges sticking out) and a lot of finesse on the finish.

2018 Bella Vida Clonal Selection-Wädenswil
The Wädenswil clone comes from Switzerland and was developed for cooler climates, making it a perfect match for the Willamette Valley. This wine has a big aroma of high-toned red and blue fruits and pronounced plum. A lush, weighty attack on the mid-palate, is supported by the characteristically forceful structure of Wädenswil.

2018 Bella Vida Clonal Selection-Pommard-Wädenswil Cuvée
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. The Clonal Selection Series is an extremely limited release and is exclusive to the 2018 vintage.
