Winemaker’s Notes: “The 2022 Colina Dalla Valle is a study of the fresher and more approachable portions of the estate vineyard. A Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant vintage for this wine, comprising of 81% of the blend, with 19% Cabernet Franc contributing to the harmony of the wine. Notes of satsuma plums, strawberries, and cream interplay with a crimson red brightness and an estate signature seamless tannin profile. Savory herbs come through on the palate that adding lift and complexity to the wine through the finish. This wine is ready to be savored today, yet those with patience will be rewarded over time.”
Jeb Dunnuck 92 Points: “Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated (there’s 12% Cabernet Franc), the 2022 Collina has a deep ruby/purple hue as well as a great nose of cassis and redcurrants intermixed with classic spice, tobacco, and gravelly earth notes. It’s forward, medium to full-bodied, has integrated oak, and a great finish.”
TWI 92 Points: “The 2022 Collina is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it springs from the glass with wonderfully fruity blueberry pie and black cherry compote notes, opening out to hints of red currant jelly, violets, and cinnamon stick. The full-bodied palate delivers bags of ripe, juicy black fruit with red berry sparks and fantastic tension, supported by grainy tannins, finishing long and spicy. This is delicious right now!”
