Valette on overdrive, so rich and deep, 14.5% well hidden under layers of chardfruit. Surprisingly notable acid structure held the pieces together. The rustic style of valette is really one of a kind, this could last for several years, but are in such a sweet spot atm. A wine that made me happy 😇 — 2 years ago
One of the last great vintages from Jean Paul Valette - deep purple color with a tawny rim, fresh nose of cedar and cassis with wonderful fruit soft tannin and along finish. Perfect now. — 4 years ago
We enjoyed this wine during our first dinner in Healdsburg last week. We were drawn to this wine when we learned that the winemaker is Bob Cabral who was once at William Selyem. He is now at Three Sticks but has the Valette wines on the side. This wine was full bodied, elegant, earthy and absolutely delicious. I was happy to learn that you can order directly from Valette wines. — 2 years ago

This was number 2 of 4 from Costco package. Pleasantly surprised. Agreebwith the fact it needs a little time to breath. Opened well. Nice mouth feel, dry and smooth. Dark cherry and raspberry. — 2 years ago

Vino color rubí con cuerpo denso y clarificado. Notas de amaderadas, frutos rojos, zarzamora, vainilla, canela. Vino muy bien balanceado, con astringencia y acidez media.
Este vino tiene una alta retención y sin duda cada sorbo invita al siguiente.
Recomendable al 100. — 4 years ago

Big wine that started off very good but seemed to turn great with time in the decanter. Big bodied, great acidity, complex and a long finish. — 4 months ago
