  Exceptional balance, in no way a bruising fruit bomb, but emerging secondary flavors and long finish. Felt lucky to enjoy it.

  Oakville AVA tasting (67 Pall Mall): I liked the Dalla Valle wines - a little rough round the edges and characterful, which was a tonic in a room full of polish and gloss. This has around 20% cab franc in the blend and it has a marked impact: violet, rose and a hint of green leafy notes provide interest and complexity. Some sweet spice and sweet dark fruits- cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant- which just about stay away from being jammy. Some grain to the tannins still, ample acidity and it's still mostly primary - so you'd bet on this continuing to develop very nicely.

  Fruit bomb. Hedonistic and delicious but ripe fruit is dominant over acid, tannin, and any secondary characteristics. Decanted for two hours through a coffee filter with moderate sediment removed.
