Dalla Valle 2020 Collina Dalla Valle, Bordeaux Blend Napa Valley

Maya Dalla Valle Notes: “Collina Dalla Valle 2020 displays classic approachability and freshness from the younger vines on the estate. Comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc in equal parts with a dash of Petit Verdot, the wine reveals layers of floral violet, cedar, pine needles, and plush boysenberries reveal themselves with each sip. A seamless texture melds all the aromatics together with a smooth and prolonged finish.”

Jeb Dunnuck: “The 2020 Collina is solid and unquestionably worth your time and money. Based on 50% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot, it has solid cassis and darker currant-like fruits as well as some earthy, and chocolaty nuances. Medium to full-bodied, it offers solid tannins, good balance, and a great finish.”

Vinous: “The 2020 Collina Dalla Valle is soft, fruity, and very easy to like.  Bright red-toned fruit, spice, cedar, mint, and tobacco are front and center.  The Cabernet Franc-based red offers quite a bit of allure.  I would prefer to drink it over the next few years. It’s a fine effort.”
