2020 Dalla Valle Vineyards Collina Napa Valley, USA

The 2020 Dalla Valle Vineyards Collina is an elegant Napa Valley red wine that showcases the freshness and approachability of the estate's younger vines. Crafted from equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with a small addition of Petit Verdot, the wine reflects Dalla Valle's distinctive hillside terroir and refined winemaking style. The 2020 growing season began with dry conditions and a relatively warm spring, followed by classic Napa Valley days and cool evenings that helped preserve freshness before an early harvest. Layers of violet, cedar, pine needle, and plush boysenberry unfold with each sip, leading to a seamless texture and a smooth, prolonged finish. Balanced and expressive, this refined red is an excellent match for grilled steak, roasted lamb, hearty pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.
