Tasting notes
The 2016 Collina Dalla Valle is rich and pliant, not to mention insanely delicious. Graphite, spice, cedar and red plum overtones infuse the 2016 with striking complexity and layers of dimension. The Collina is such a gorgeous and expressive wine. It is also one of the very best deals in high-end artisanal Cabernet.

The 2016 Collina Dalla Valle is soft, open-knit and delicious. Striking in its aromatics and pliant in feel, the 2016 has a lot to offer. Soft contours bring out the red cherry, plum, tobacco, spice, cedar and spice flavors nicely. This gracious, effortless wine will drink well upon release. The Collina remains one of the best values in high-end artisan Napa Valley wine and, frankly, the hidden gem in this range.
