The DVO Napa Valley Red 2018 is composed of a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc and marks the inaugural vintage of a special collaboration between Dalla Valle in Napa Valley and Ornellaia Estate in Tuscany (hence DVO). Complex layers of ripe black plums and fresh black cherry mingle with notes of graphite, leather, cured meat and violets together with black olive and herbal character.

Jane Anson
A joint winemaking project between Axel Heinz and Maya Dalle Valle comes with high expectations, and this lives up to promise, with finessed and supremely sleek black liquorice, cocoa bean, Christmas cake spice and concentrated cassis and damson flavours. It has the exuberance and powerful build of the 2018 vintage in Napa, along with a sculpting of fresh herbs, slate and plenty of grip. An impressive first vintage. 75% new oak for ageing, held in bottle for one year before release. The grapes are from sites across Oakville, Mount Veeder and Coombsville.Jane Anson1st February 2023
