Dalla Valley is a domaine located in the hills near Oakville in the Napa Valley. It is a small family vineyard founded in 1986 by Gustav Dalla Valle and his wife Naoko. This domaine rapidly made great strides and has achieved a very high level (a score of 100/100 from Parker for the 1992 vintage). Their consultant is Michel Rolland. Wines from this domaine are characterised by good concentrations, rich tannins and well blended acidity.

The Cabernet Sauvignon reveals excellent structure, fruitiness and silky tannins. It is dark in visual appearance, exuding smoky notes of black berries. It deserves to be kept for a few years in the cellar before being savoured at its peak.
