1998 Dalla Valle Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

93 pts - Wine Advocate

The spectacular, full-bodied 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (2,000 cases from a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Cabernet Franc) possesses great character, richness, and black currant fruit intermixed with licorice, tobacco, and smoke. While not as opulent as some vintages, it is exceptionally concentrated, long, and reminiscent of a ripe Bordeaux from a top vintage. Anticipated maturity: now-2018. As I indicated in my December, 2000 report, Dalla Valle's 1998s are candidates for wines of the vintage. - Robert Parker
