J Bell Cellars

J Bell Cellars produces wines from Columbia Valley, Washington's expansive growing region. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux varieties and Malbec, grapes that thrive in the valley's warm days and cool nights. The Malbec and Essence blend—a combination of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot—represent the winery's core offerings, both rated at 90 points by prestige critics including Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate. A Cabernet Sauvignon rounds out the lineup at 89 points. Columbia Valley's continental climate and diverse soil types support the structure and ripeness these varietals demand, and J Bell Cellars' selections reflect the region's capacity for age-worthy reds.
