When it comes to consistency the Bella Terra Cab is one of Pondview’s best – bottled “unfiltered” again (2nd year in a row) and made with fruit picked deep into November. The nose is blackberry, black cherry and vanilla; backed on the palate by black and blue fruit, cherry, chocolate, wood smoke and silky tannins … one of the best balanced Bella Terra wine (maybe ever) and shows potential for good ageing (5-7 years).
