Bella Collina Vineyards

|
Today, Roberta runs the elegant vacation rental by herself, doing everything from serving breakfast to changing sheets, and she manages her eight-acre vineyard with the love and care a mother would give her child.
And her wines show it. Her Cabernet Sauvignon recently won gold medals at the 2009 Los AngelesIMG_3399 Commercial Wine Competition and at the Central Coast Wine Competition. At last year’s California State Fair, Bella Collina won two gold medals, earning 94 points each, and the year before, her viognier won Best White Wine at the 2007 California Mid-State Fair. In fact, Roberta has a wall in her bedroom filled with dozens of ribbons and awards that her wines have won just in the few short years since releasing her first 2004 vintage.
Roberta’s winemaker, Ryan Horn, knows why they have been so successful. “Making good wine with fruit like hers is easy,” Horn says. “I’m a good winemaker, but I don’t have to do much when it comes to Roberta’s fruit.”
