Dalla Valle Collina Napa Valley Red 2021

92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Collina Dalla Valle is a joyous wine. Bright, punchy and full of character, the 2021 is flat-out delicious. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco coast from the glass. Vibrant acids lend tons of energy and freshness. Collina della Valle has long been one of my favorite wines in this category. The 2021 is an absolute knockout. Best of all, it will drink well with minimal cellaring. Drink: 2024-2036 (Dec 2023)"

91 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2021 Collina is a blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with about 5% Petit Verdot. Deep purple-black in color, it struts out of the glass with flamboyant notes of warm cassis, stewed black plums, and boysenberries, with suggestions of rose oil, menthol, pencil shavings, and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, plush, and juicy, it offers a great intensity of expressive black fruit flavors with harmonious acidity and a long, earthy finish. Collina is the earlier-drinking expression of Dalla Valle, which includes a little purchased fruit. Alcohol 14.5%. Drink: 2024-2040. (12/4/23)"
