This really yielded disparate opinions at dinner. I know Del Dotto loves experimenting with oak but to me this was overwhelmingly oaky. Others found this powerful and distinctive. There were also red fruit notes and some spicy notes but oak made this almost one dimensional in my mind. I have now tasted all 5 of Del Dotto’s Corona wines and this was my least favorite. Maybe will moderate with age.

On opening, aromas of vanilla pudding, bubblegum, plum. More plum and black cherry on palate. Acidic yet some sweetness. Tannins dry out the tongue a bit as the alcohol warms it up. I like it and will let it decant for a few hours to see what changes.

Agree 100% with “cavedivr’s” comments. This is a really well made cabernet.

Super nice. This is good now. Nicely oaked, big, Cali cab. Drinking great with a 1 hour decant.
