2019 Vangone, Block D Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 12x75cl
Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Production: 100 cases
Every aspect of Vangone Estate is about adventure, discovery and exclusivity. From the precarious drive up through hidden backroads, to the... breathtaking view that awaits you when you arrive, to the luxurious micro-production Cabernet Sauvignons produced here, Vangone is the ultimate insider's secret.
Stylistically, Vangone is a phenomenal expression of Cabernet Sauvignon: rich and hedonistic, while refined and textured in equal measure. Proprietor Mark Davidowski and winemaker Sam Kaplan (Arkenstone Estate, Maxem, Momento Mori) produce a unique trio of wines: c.100 cases each of two individual vineyard parcels, Block B and Block D, as well as masterfully combining them into the Estate Cabernet (c.250 cases).
Block D faces Atlas Peak to the east, on an incredibly steep part of the vineyard. This Cabernet is characteristic for its fruit-driven nose and incredibly powerful, structured core.

2019 Dalla Valle & Ornellaia, DVO, Napa Valley 3x75cl
Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc
Vintage production: 550 cases
DVO Napa Valley, the joint-venture between Dalla Valle Vineyards and Ornellaia, has firmly established its ‘Cult’... status among the world’s collectors, and has quickly taken its position on the most exclusive restaurant wine lists.
Winemakers Maya Dalla Valle & Axel Heinz have crafted two of the most celebrated wines in the world - Maya and Masseto. Given the Elite status these two wines command, DVO is on the path to join them.
Their shared passion and skill are on display in full glory with DVO, and they went to extraordinary lengths to pick three first-class vineyards in the Oakville, Coombsville and Mount Veeder AVAs. Each brings a distinctive character to the Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend, and stylistically it is unlike anything else we’ve tasted from Napa.
As Perrotti-Brown says: “Draped in flamboyant drama, this is a very different, very exciting new face of Napa Valley!”
