Dalla Valle's 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a worthy successor to the blockbuster 1990 and 1991. Huge sweet aromas of black fruits spices and oak are followed by a wine with great fruit extraction full body layers of richness and that multidimensional layered feel that this producer routinely obtains. The flattering personality of the 1992 has resulted in a more unctuous and voluptuous wine than even the 1991 or 1990. Moreover it will have 15+ years of aging potential.

Intense and dark-colored, with deeply concentrated currant, anise, pencil lead and cedary oak flavors. Continues to reveal exceptional depth and concentration, with a long, fruity finish and firm tannins.--'92 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now through 2010. – JL
