Dalla Valle Cabernet Blend Collina 2016

This oh-so impressive Cabernet blend dazzles with dark fruit and velvety smooth tannins melded together harmoniously for a supremely delicious experience now through the next decade. In fact, the 2016 release is the best Collina bottling we’ve sampled as it reminds us of opulent favorites trading for $200-$300 per bottle. The bouquet boasts captivating aromas of baking cocoa and spices that lead to seductive layers of dark fruit complimented by seamlessly integrated French oak. Intensely satisfying hints of black cherry, blueberry and toffee linger on the scintillating finish. Thanks to an awe-inspiring texture and integration of flavors, this relative bargain may be enjoyed tonight (decant half hour) and merits a 96+ rating now and 97+ over the next decade. Bravo.
