Special barrel lot that is one of the better Cali wines that I have tried reminding me of a great vintage of a young Haut Brion. Black & red fruits, cassis, graphite, smoke, spice box & tobacco showing good balance & finesse.

Jan 15th, 2020Purchased this 5 case barrel at Premier Napa. Dalla Valle’s oldest planted Cabernet Vineyard named after the oldest daughter Isabella. I remember this being the best barrel I tasted over the 3 days at PNV showing 1st growth quality, balance & finesse. This was the 1st & only time she has ever produced this rare wine.
