Apr 21st, 2017An expected example of a Del Dotto cab with 15.5% alc, lots of French oak, and black fruit - more blackberry than black cherry. Tannins were nicely integrated and enhancing for the wine.

May 4th, 2024I forgot I had this wine. It’s delicious, chewy, with long finish . I need to get more Del Dotto wines . It’s the good stuff.

Dec 6th, 2021A very smooth and well integrated wine despite its young age! Lots of french oak and luscious Cabernet married in a glass quite enjoyable!!

Oct 25th, 2021PNP-2015 Colbert French Oak “North/Front Block” 887 St. Helena Vineyard / Deep, dark, concentrated black & blue fruit, gobs of glycerin, upfront, mid & long finish; all the stuffing of great wine. Kudos again Del Dotto Family. Cheers 🍇🍷👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Jan 26th, 2021For those that dismiss Del Dotto wines - think again! This wine was perfectly ready to drink immediately upon uncorking with a soft, warm vanilla oak surrounding mature dark fruit. The wine’s richness and balance were more like a Haut Brion than a young Napa cab! Still there are tannins that will soften in the cellar, so balance you temptation to empty your collection!
