1998 Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon
Reviews of 1998 Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon
93 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
August 2002
The spectacular, full-bodied 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (2,000 cases from a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Cabernet Franc) possesses great character, richness, and black currant fruit intermixed with licorice, tobacco, and smoke. While not as opulent as some vintages, it is exceptionally concentrated, long, and reminiscent of a ripe Bordeaux from a top vintage. Anticipated maturity: now-2018.
As I indicated in my December, 2000 report, Dalla Valle's 1998s are candidates for wines of the vintage.

Ruby-red. Ripe aromas of cassis, currant, shoe polish, loam and graphite. Supple, juicy and harmonious, with noteworthy sweetness and inner-mouth florals for the year. Finishes with smooth, ripe tannins and excellent length. This has turned out very well. An extremely impressive '98.

Well-proportioned, with a mix of generous plum, black cherry and blackberry fruit, anise, sage and cedar. The texture is supple and polished, with a long, complex finish. Drink now through 2008. 2,300 cases made. –JL
About 1998 Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon
About the Winery Dalla Valle
Dalle Valle is a small, family-owned winery that was founded in 1986.
The winery and vineyards are located 400 feet above the valley floor in
Oakville, Napa Valley. Perfect sun exposure combines with the cooling
Pacific breeze to produce world class fruit. Dalle Valle produces some
of the most sought-after Carbernet Sauvignons and Proprietary Blends.
The red, rocky soils of Dalla Valle Vineyardsare composed of fractured
rock of volcanic origin with some clay loam and soil. Yields are low,
averaging one to one and a half tons per acre. The fruit from Dalla
Valley Vinyeards is powerfully concentrated and it produces wines that
are rich and immense in stature with balanced tannin and acidity.
