2/7/2012 - Steve Williams wrote: 96 pointsThis wine is in a great place, and probably has a decade of life ahead. It has great fruit, with a bordeaux-like nose. A bit of the earth, with some dusty spice as well. this is what cabernet should taste like. More old world than new. |

1994 Dalla Valle Cabernet SauvignonOakville more |
2/24/2006 - Steve Williams wrote: 95 pointsReally it a sweet spot right now. This wine had great color (much darker than the '94 Arrowood we drank with it), and not fading at the edges. Typical CA fruit with some earth and dust on the nose. Went great with venison. |

11/21/2005 - Steve Williams wrote: 92 pointsThis wine is still young. I get typical Cali Cab nose and flavor, but not the fruit forward bomb like Foley wines. Went very well with the lamb and venison. I would give it at least two more years. |
