The palate echoes the aroma profile with fresh Anjou pears, cherimoya, and peach cobbler, which are present and persistent, with hints of sweet cream, mint, and fresh tangerine blossoms. The oak is fully integrated, showing lightly toasted grains and savory herbs. Expect this wine to age well for at least ten years and hopefully more.
ABOUT: Sourced exclusively from 24-year old vines planted at the top of the hill where the sandy soils start to give way to rock, this wine is truly a unique expression of Chardonnay from Solomon Hills. Hand-harvested at night and whole-cluster pressed, Belle of the Ball is then barrel fermented using native yeast and 100% malolactic fermentation. Sur lie aged on >50% new French oak, it goes into the bottle unfined and unfiltered. Named in honor of Captain Robert Miller’s wife Elizabeth, the matriarch of Miller Family, Belle of the Ball is our smallest production Chardonnay overall, and has launched with great critical fanfare.
TASTING NOTES: Belle of the Ball Chardonnay represents the pinnacle of Solomon Hills Estate. Showcasing the vibrant minerality and acidity that make Solomon Hills Vineyard so special, its delicate handling in the cellar empowers it to unlock an incredible balance of exuberance and grace.

The 2020 Chardonnay Reserve Belle of the Ball is a new wine from Bien Nacido. which comes from a small block of vines planted in sandstone at their Solomon Hills estate. It opens with subtle streaks of flint and touches of lime peel before blossoming to a core of perfumed peach and beeswax. The palate explodes with surprising intensity, boasting wave after wave of concentrated fruit and mouthwatering acidity, offering an impressively satiny texture that drives the very long finish. Wow! - Erin Brooks The Wine Advocate.
