Bella Oaks
Brand Messaging, Precision Storytelling, Visual Campaign Creation, Creative + Art Direction
Nestled 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, visionary proprietor and steward Suzanne Deal Booth has breathed new life into the storied Bella Oaks property alongside a formidable team. Together with winemaker Nigel Kinsman, and master blender Michel Rolland, Suzanne Deal Booth’s intention to preserve and elevate this historic site sees Bella Oaks poised to inscribe its name once more in the history of the Napa Valley.
To honor a place is to manifest its full purpose anew - to inhabit, to discover, and to allow an understanding to develop over time and in the company of a committed team. Only then, with a decade of discovery informing our understanding do we earn the privilege to craft the very first estate wine from Bella Oaks.
The legacy of Bella Oaks is multi-layered and rich. While soil and vine are the framework of every estate, it is the home and its inhabitants that give it flesh and meaning.
“It shows just how refined Napa Valley can be. In a word: unforgettable.” — Antonio Galloni
