Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Vinous 97
Opaque ruby. A highly complex, expansive bouquet evokes smoke-accented black and blue fruits, oak spices, incense, mocha and potpourri. Sappy, sharply delineated cassis, blueberry and cherry preserve flavors show energetic mineral lift and betray no rough edges. In an ample but lively style, finishing smoky and wonderfully long, with a resonating cherry note and chewy tannins that sneak in late.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2036
Jeb Dunnuck 100
Pure perfection from Paso Robles, the 2019 Estate Cuvee checks in as 50% Syrah, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot that was raised in 81% new French oak. Incredible cassis and black berry fruits as well as violets, chocolate, graphite, and who knows what else emerges from the glass, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a concentrated yet weightless mouthfeel, building tannins, and a great finish. It s more seamless and approachable than the more backward, structured 2018 and will have two decades of prime drinking. Stephan Asseo, who s assisted more and more by assistant winemaker Patrick Davies, continues to keep his L Aventure estate near the top of the pyramid in Paso Robles. This report looks at the 2019s and 2020s, and both appear to be beautiful vintages. The 2019s are some of the finest wines I ve tasted at this estate and have a rare mix of power and vibrancy, with incredible aromatics and sensational purity and precision on the palate.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2041

2019 O’Shaughnessy, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 6x75cl
Blend: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 3% Malbec, 1% St. Macaire, 1% Cabernet Franc
Production: 6,037 cases
This is a wine that sets the benchmark for Napa Valley AVA Cabs every year, showcasing... the stunning quality of the three Estate Vineyards.
The Howell Mountain Estate surrounds the winery, flowing through three distinct sites: The Amphitheatre Vineyard derives its name from its shape across the hillside, and the Rancho Del Oso Vineyard take its name from a resident black bear!. Newest is the Osprey's Nest Vineyard, just upslope from the winery, which is shared with a young family of Osprey. Together, they bring the dark fruit flavours and graphite minerality of Howell Mountain to the wine.
The second Estate Vineyard is on Mount Veeder. The vines from the steeply terraced ‘Betty’s Vineyard’ consistently produce clusters with small berries and intense flavours. It’s one of the most remote and breathtaking vineyards in Napa, and adds a savoury earthiness and brilliant structure
Lastly, the Oakville vineyard spans 13 hectares surrounding Betty and Paul’s home. Just a stones throw from the famed BOND St. Eden Vineyard, the Cabernet here exudes the classic Oakville richness and luxury.
This Cabernet is guaranteed to bring the goods and will go toe-to-toe with any Cabernet out there. It’s always a sure-fire hit from wine maker Sean Capiaux and his team at O’Shaughnessy.

2019 Dalla Valle, Collina Dalla Valle, Napa Valley 6x75cl
Blend: 50% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot
Vintage production: 500 cases
Dripping with class and pedigree, the Collina is a beautiful representation of the Dalla Valle... Estate. While it was once a chance to express younger vines, it has developed into something far more than the sum of its parts with its own dedicated vineyard blocks.
It truly is a great introduction to the legendary Maya, sharing the same predominance of Cabernet Franc.
Dalla Valle's wines are famed for their longevity, which makes the Collina a chance to experience the vintage earlier on with its more accessible style. As Antonio Galloni says, it offers "Tremendous value
in the world of high-end Napa Valley wines."

2018 Cliff Lede, High Fidelity, Napa Valley 1x75cl
Blend: 50% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot
Vintage production: 1,142 cases
The Cliff Lede High Fidelity is unlike any other wine produced at the Estate as the... focus in on Cabernet Franc. If you ask any of Napa's top winemakers which varietal they are most excited about, this is the one. Only fruit from a truly brilliant vineyard makes the cut, and for the High Fidelity, David Abreu reserved a parcel of Cab Franc from his 'First Growth' Madrona Ranch Vineyard in western St. Helena. When the same fruit goes into his renowned Abreu Vineyards Madrona Ranch Proprietary Red, you know it's of seriously high quality.
Winemaker Chris Tynan masterfully blends this Cabernet Franc with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a splash of Petit Verdot from Cliff Lede's Twin Peaks Estate Vineyard in Stags Leap District, and his High Fidelity 2018 is absolutely singing from the word go. As Jeb Dunnuck says, "It's already hard to resist", yet it has everything in place to cellar gracefully for another 10-15 years.
