Bella Union by Far Niente Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot.
The 2021 Bella Union Napa Valley Cabernet possesses beautiful and intriguing aromas of dark plum, black cherry, hints of clove and barrel spice. The palate is well-structured with velvety tannins complemented by generous layers of fruit flavors of blackberry, fig, and raspberry preserves that give way to a melting finish.
Review:
With small percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, this exquisitely aromatic and textural Cabernet begins with a perfume of crushed violets and black cherry. Concentrated flavors of blackberry liqueur, vanilla, and sandalwood flow across chewy, velvet- lined tannins.

Roland Champion Champagne Special Club Grand Cru is made from Chardonnay.
The 'Special Club' designation is one of the most prestigious in Champagne, reserved exclusively for the finest vintages from member growers of the Club Trésors de Champagne. Each Special Club wine undergoes rigorous peer tasting and must meet exceptional quality standards before receiving the coveted Special Club label.
Roland Champion's Grand Cru Special Club comes from the finest Chardonnay parcels in the Côte des Blancs. Generous aromas of sun-ripened green apple, peach, nougat, and white chocolate layered with fresh lemon and grilled citrus. On the palate, rich and creamy with lively, fine-beaded mousse. Bright notes of grapefruit, lime, and toasted nuts lead to a long, round finish accented by toasted brioche, white flowers, and pronounced chalky minerality. Elegant and structured with excellent aging potential.
A collector's Champagne, perfect for special celebrations or paired with fine cuisine such as lobster, truffle dishes, or aged Comté cheese.
