In a quiet corner of the famed Rutherford Bench is a vineyard with a legacy for producing some of Napa Valley’s earliest and most noteworthy single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons. Quietly, over the last decade, proprietor and steward Suzanne Deal Booth breathed new life into Bella Oaks, beginning with a replanting and revitalization of the vineyard in 2010 by vineyard manager David Abreu. Now, with a formidable team of specialists, including winemaker Nigel Kinsman and master blender Michel Rolland, Suzanne’s mission to preserve and elevate this historic site sees Bella Oaks poised to inscribe its name once more in Napa Valley’s rich history.
