Bella Luna 2009 Estate Sangiovese (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
An interesting interpretation of Sangiovese. It’s dry and quite high in acidity, with a tart mouthfeel framing intense flavors of cherries, tobacco, red licorice and tingly pepperspice. The texture is as light and delicate as a Pinot Noir. Drink now.

Bella Luna 2008 Tempestuous Tempranillo (San Benito County)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Like most California Tempranillos, this one’s dry, acidic and rich in red cherry fruit, cola and beef jerky flavors. It’s a pleasant wine, with a silky, light mouthfeel. Try as an interesting alternative to Pinot Noir.

Bella Luna 2007 Estate Riserva Bellicaia Cabernet Sauvignon-Sangiovese (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Very ripe and fruity, in the Paso style, with tiers of sweet red and black cherry pie filling and spice flavors. The acidity, which must come from the Sangiovese, is quite high and a little invasive, but it’s a charming wine.

Made from Sangiovese and Barbera, this blush wine is forward and jammy in raspberries, strawberries, sweetened herb tea and cinnamon spice. Crisp acidity fortunately provides clean balance. It’s a nice wine to drink this summer with ham, fruit, hots dogs, burgers.

Bella Luna 2008 Lot One Barbera (San Benito County)

Frankly sweet, with overripe raisin, blackberry jam and chocolate flavors, wrapped into heavy tannins. High alcohol gives it a hot, prickly finish.
