Bello Family Vineyards has produced several cabernet sauvignons that have ranked highly on the Robert Parker and Stephen Tanzer scales, including the 2009 Megahertz, 2010 reserve cabernet sauvignon, and 2014 cabernet sauvignon. The Rutherford Estate, home to Bello Family Vineyards, was built beginning in 2000. Since then, the family has worked together to produce high-quality cabernet sauvignons, chardonnays, sauvignon blancs, rosés, marsannes, and syrahs.
Michael Bello is the founder of the winery and works closely with his son, Christopher, who serves as general manager, and Ross Wallace, an experienced wine maker. The vineyard was planted in 2008 between the Vaca mountain range and the Mayacamas mountain range, an optimum location for growing grapes that will turn into cabernet sauvignon.
Bello Family Vineyards’ portfolio of wines can be purchased online, or as part of a wine club. The Megahertz and Run for the Roses wine clubs provides three bottles per shipment four times a year.

Legend has it that once a champion always a champion; because to settle for less is not acceptable. This clearly exemplifies Michael Bello.
Emphasizing an unmatched mix of hard work, quality and high standards, Michael started his career with a residential construction company. Passionate about living life to its fullest, his remarkable business achievements enabled him to pursue two lifelong dreams; to own a champion racehorse and produce a champion Napa Valley wine.
In 2000, determined to produce a premium Cabernet Sauvignon, Michael purchased a piece of prime real estate located in the Napa Valley’s Rutherford Bench district. He set about constructing a French farmhouse with materials imported from France, incorporating details that had never been seen before in Napa Valley. His dream to produce a quality boutique Cabernet Sauvignon was set in motion.
A master at attaining his goals, and driven by his passion, Michael set another dream in motion. In late 2001 he purchases a Thoroughbred racehorse, Megahertz, and brings her to the California stable of trainer Bobby Frankel. This young filly is the beginning of yet another champion story for Bello.
