WINEMAKER NOTES:
Collina Dalla Valle 2020 displays classic approachability and freshness from the younger vines on the estate. Comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc in equal parts with a dash of Petit Verdot, the wine reveals layers of floral violet, cedar, pine needles and plush boysenberries reveal themselves with each sip. A seamless texture melds all the aromatics together with a smooth and prolonged finish.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2020 Collina is solid and unquestionably worth your time and money. Based on 50% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot, it has solid cassis and darker currant-like fruits as well as some earthy, smoky, and chocolaty nuances. Medium to full-bodied, it offers solid tannins, good balance, and a great finish.
