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.

The 2022 Collina is blended of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it springs from the glass with wonderfully fruity blueberry pie and black cherry compote notes, opening out to hints of red currant jelly, violets, and cinnamon stick. The full-bodied palate delivers bags of ripe, juicy black fruit with red berry sparks and fantastic tension, supported by grainy tannins, finishing long and spicy. This is delicious right now!

Juicy, mørke bær. Pen eik, støvete tanniner. God friskhet.
