Dalla Valle Cabernet

Oakville, Napa Valley, CA - "Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with bold, beautiful black fruits-blackcurrant pastilles, plum preserves and boysenberries-with hints of baker's chocolate, yeast extract, tapenade and Indian spices plus a waft of forest floor."

Napa Valley - So much blackberry and lead-pencil shavings. Hints of tar, too. Full-to medium-bodied with extremely well-crafted tannins that run the length of the wine. Hints of oak at the end, but this will come together nicely with bottle age. Slightly chewy now. Some salted caramel.

Napa, CA- The 2012 Collina Dalla Valle is a rich, precise blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The wine brings aromas and flavors of dried flowers, red raspberries, black currants, and smoke. It possesses finely textured tannins that provide great structural backbone.

Napa Valley - Oakville - ...60-40 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc...black cherries, dark loamy notes, hints of cassis, cedar and vanilla. It's medium to full-bodied, richly textured and tannic but with a slightly open-knit feel and a ripe, softly wooly finish.

Oakville, Napa, CA- "Very deep purple-black in color, it opens with profound earthy notions of truffles, damp soil, crushed rocks and tar over a core of Black Forest cake, black raspberries, blueberry compote and aged meat plus touches of wilted roses and unsmoked cigars...Stunning."
