Product Description
JS96 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.
RP95 Black cherries, dark loam and cassis appear on the nose of Dalla Valle's 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, joined by hints of cedar and vanilla. It's medium to full-bodied, firm, tannic and sturdy but essentially ripe, with a softness to its structure that suggests early accessibility. The long, mocha-tinged finish lingers elegantly, a delicious capstone to a super wine.
LP95 Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon needs a lot of shaking and swirling to reveal youthfully subdued notes of crushed blackcurrants and black cherries with underlying hints of cast-iron pan, charcoal, wild sage, and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers beautiful harmony and plenty of depth, featuring generous black fruit and earthy layers with firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with great length.
