Natural Cork

This is one of the most approachable Colina Cabernets from Dalla Valle in recent vintages. The red-toned fruit has a plush, inviting quality, yet the wine retains excellent tension and structure. Lovely garrigue notes emerge alongside mineral tension, building on the medium-bodied palate, with layers of bay laurel and fennel. The fine, elongated tannins have an exacting precision, carrying a gentle sweetness that enhances the wine’s immediate drinkability. While incredibly enjoyable now, it possesses the structure and energy to age gracefully for another 10–15 years. Historically, from the younger vines on the property, which at this point are well over 10 years of age. It's the freshest and most approachable wine, made for early drinking, but still has the thread-line of Dalla Valle's structure, integrity, and ageability. The Petite Verdot and Cabernet Franc come from the blocks lower down the hillside, and the Cabernet Sauvignon come from blocks surrounding the house on the property. Yields for the entire property are relatively low. And these are fermented with proprietary yeasts they cultivated from their property.
