It starts off gently leafy and floral, then builds to a crescendo of dark fruit—black cherries, blackberries and cassis—with hints of cedar and vanilla. Medium- to full-bodied, it's concentrated and rich without any sense of weightiness, instead showing great length and freshness, culminating in a long, velvety and mouthwatering finish. Am I being stingy? Set up a comparison of this and the 2021 and let's see..<br/> Producer Dalla Valle VineyardsDalla Valle was launched onto the Napa winemaking scene in the early 1980s, when Gustav and Naoko Dalla Valle purchased the property and began planting vines. The vineyards overlook Napa Valley on a hillside terrace, perched at 122 meters above the Silverado Trail. With the help of Heidi Peterson Barrett and Mia Klein as winemakers, their wines have begun to develop a following, most notably with Maya, their top wine named after their daughter and of which only 500 cases are produced from the finest grapes and parcels. Their latest addition is an entry-level wine called Collina which is produced from their youngest vines.
