Tasting Notes
Jeb Dunnuck 94
Moving to the wines from bottle, the 2017 Asterisk offers a dense purple hue as well as a sweet nose of crème de cassis, mulberries, brambly herbs, chocolate, and toasted spices. Fruit-forward and charming, it still has ample mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and beautiful balance. I don’t think it’s going to make terribly old bones, but it’s going to drink beautifully for at least 15-20 years.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2041
James Suckling 94
Plum with some mushroom, bark and cedar on the nose, following through to a medium to full body with polished, firm tannins and a delicious, juicy finish. Normally half merlot and cabernet franc. Drink now or hold.
Robert Parker 91
The 2017 Asterisk has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and expressive notes of baked plums, blackberry compote and red currant jelly with hints of potpourri, oolong tea, tapenade and truffles. The medium-bodied palate offers mouth-coating black and red fruit preserves with a velvety texture and lovely freshness, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2032

2019 Dalla Valle, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 6x75cl
Blend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc
Vintage production: c.1,000 cases
Eastern Oakville is one of Napa Valley's most star-studded neighbourhoods. Overlooking them all from the highest... point s one of the Estates that elevated Napa to the top of the global scene in the 1990s, Dalla Valle Vineyards.
The Cabernet Sauvignon is the wine that it all began with back in 1986, when founders Gustav and Naoko Dalla Valle introduced their hillside Estate Vineyard to the world with this debut vintage. It's the small addition of Cabernet Franc - which thrives in the iron rich volcanic soils, that sets this wine apart.
While the 2018 vintage may have been a tough act to follow, the 2019s standout as another classic, idyllic Napa Valley vintage to remember. A milestone was reached at Dalla Valle in 2019 as they embraced the world of Biodynamic farming. Their deep love and connection to this land inspired them to begin this journey, and they have not looked back since. The elements of energy and vibrancy show in the 2019 vintage. A cool winter and mild rainy spring replenished the vines and provided them with the energy to sustain the heat of summer and perfectly ripen in the autumn.
