With a name like “the Beloved” behind it you’d think the wine were named after a wife, or kid, parent or respected family member … Nope, it’s beloved because the wine is made from a single clone that winemaker Gerard Spinosa loves. The nose is floral and strawberry, while the palate follows the nose pretty well, but the new wood hides the fruit a bit, but it’s coming around. Price: $45.00 – Rating: *** ½+
