Score 91/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2016
The 2014 Collina Dalla Valle is a relatively soft, open knit wine. There is lovely purity to the dark red cherry fruit, spice and mocha flavors. All the signatures of the estate are present, but in a relatively small-scaled style. I would prefer to drink the 2014 sooner rather than later given its mid-weight structure. The 2014 is two-thirds Cabernet Franc and one-third Cabernet Sauvignon, with a dollop of Petit Verdot.

About the producer
Dalla Valle
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.
