Bella Grace 1646 Red Blend Wine – 2018 Vintage

Crafted in California’s Sierra Foothills AVA, Bella Grace Vineyards’ 1646 Red Blend embodies the bold character of Amador County’s rugged terroir through its expertly balanced blend of Barbera (40%), Zinfandel (30%), Primitivo (20%), and Petite Sirah (10%). This sophisticated red wine opens with inviting aromas of spiced plum and currant layered over earthy nuances like wild mushroom and toasted caramel. On the palate, its medium-to-full body delivers lively red cherry and raspberry flavors framed by polished tannins and bright acidity—a harmonious balance between rustic depth and approachable elegance.

Perfectly suited for food lovers, its light tannic structure pairs seamlessly with grilled meats or herb-crusted dishes while its crisp acidity cuts through rich sauces effortlessly. The 2018 vintage shines with sun-dried tomato and dried herb accents that add complexity without overpowering lighter fare. Whether enjoyed young for its vibrant fruitiness or cellared to enhance its layered nuances over time, this California red blend offers exceptional value for both casual sipping and special occasions. Its versatile profile makes it stand out among Sierra Foothills wines—a testament to craftsmanship that honors tradition while appealing to modern palates seeking bold yet balanced flavors.
