In 2021, Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon is a deeply concentrated, statuesque Napa red that layers crème de cassis and black cherry with rose petal, cedar, cocoa and a streak of dark, earthy graphite. The palate is dense yet refined, with pixel-fine tannins and vibrant natural acidity giving a sense of precision and lift to all that black-fruited power, finishing with remarkable length and complex hints of tobacco, dried flowers and subtle spice. This is a compelling, long-haul vintage that begs for time in the cellar to reveal its full nuance.

Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon is the estate flagship from Dalla Valle Vineyards in Oakville, Napa Valley—first released in 1986—and is built from hillside-grown Cabernet (typically blended with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and occasionally Petit Verdot) to express the site’s concentrated dark-fruit power, firm structure and mineral lift. The wine is known for ripe black and blue fruit, layered spice and long, ageworthy tannins that reflect the vineyard’s gravelly soils and elevated aspect above the valley floor.
