Varietal

Cabernet Sauvignon

By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.

Country

United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Region

Washington State

Since it began in the 1820s, wine-production in Washington state has gone from strength to strength, with many of the finest United States wines coming out over the past twenty years hailing from this region. Today, the state is the second largest US producer of wines, behind California, with over forty thousand acres under vine. The state itself is split into two distinct wine regions, separated by the Cascade Range, which casts an important rain shadow over much of the area. As such, the vast majority of vines are grown and cultivated in the dry, arid desert-like area in the eastern half of the state, with the western half producing less than one percent of the state's wines where it is considerably wetter. Washington state is famed for producing many of the most accessible wines of the country, with Merlot and Chardonnay varietal grapes leading the way, and much experimentation with other varietals characterizing the state's produce in the twenty-first century.

Appellation

Walla Walla

The beautiful sub-region of Walla Walla sits within the vast Washington State wine region of Columbia Valley, in the dry and arid, gently sloping lowlands which typify the area. The region has been building up a powerful reputation over the past few decades, and dozens of wineries have opened within the sub-region of Walla Walla over the past twenty years, helping it establish itself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of United States wines. Walla Walla is internationally renowned for the high quality of its Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varietal wines, made from imported French grape varietals which adore the dry and arid soils which are found within the region. However, many grape varietals thrive within Walla Walla, and wineries are now expanding their portfolios and creating a wide array of wines.

Jeb Dunnuck

A Rocks District-driven blend from Les Collines and River Rock of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Bellamy is edgy and intense in funky angularity. It’s compelling and intriguing, a wild ride of a wine with full-bodied weight across the palate. Herbal, floral, and feral, drink now and for another 10-12 years. 2025-2037.

Winery Notes

Rated 95 - The 2022 The Walls Bellamy Cabernet Sauvignon is a commanding and intricately layered blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 20 months in predominantly 225L French oak barriques, this wine possesses both structure and refinement. The nose reveals an enticing interplay of ripe cassis, black plum skin, and graphite, interwoven with notes of cedar and dried herbs. On the palate, it delivers a deep and concentrated core of dark currant and crushed blueberries, underscored by hints of roasted espresso bean and umami-rich glaze. The tannins are bold yet impeccably integrated, lending a muscular frame to the wine’s generous fruit and savory complexity. A backbone of vibrant acidity keeps everything in perfect harmony, while the finish lingers wonderfully. 2025-2035. - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report

Wine Spectator

Tightly structured at the core but offers a polished veneer that opens to rich blackberry, black olive and savory meat flavors as they build tension toward broad-shouldered tannins. Drink now through 2032.

Vinous Media

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Bellamy is more red-fruited, with a burst of peppery rose and cedary spice complicating dried strawberries. This is racy and spicy in character with vibrant acidity that adds unbridled energy, as ripe red and black fruits swirl across the palate. The 2022 keeps the mouth watering for more, tapering off with sweet tannins balanced by a primary staining of concentration. While incredibly pleasurable today, the 2022 has the power and structure to mature beautifully over the next 10 to 15 years.

DC 91pts

Decanter

A very ripe styled Cabernet Sauvignon from two Walla Walla vineyards, one on each side of the Washington/Oregon border. Ripe black plums and sweet cherries mark the fruit's dominant aromatics, with a touch of myrrh. The palate is densely fruited. Blackberries and wild spices blend with notes of currant and kirsch. Drinking Window 2025 - 2030.
