Note di degustazione
There is a third selection called the Casa Dalla Valle. The 2002 is an outstanding wine, obviously meant for near-term drinking (in this case, over the next decade). It shows a deep ruby/purple color, nice, sweet creme de cassis fruit, a straightforward character, but outstanding richness, depth, and length. Tel. (707) 944-2676; Fax (707) 944-8411

(from young-vines cabernet sauvignon and other declassified juice; 100% cabernet sauvignon) Good medium ruby-red. Black raspberry and mocha on the nose, with a faintly medicinal aspect. Supple and fat on entry, with purple fruit and gamey notes, then distinctly drier and greener on the back end. Finishes with dusty tannins and a suggestion of leafiness, without the normal ripeness of this vintage.
Informazioni sul produttore
Dalla Valle Vineyards was founded in 1986 by Naoko and her late husband Gustav Dalla Valle, in Oakville. Initially they had wanted to create a luxury resort, but when they discovered the potential of the site, they changed tack and decided to make wine.
