100 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is magnificent, A wine of soaring intensity and total class, the 2023 dazzles from the very first taste. Black cherry fruit, graphite, new leather, incense, licorice and gravel stain the palate. Young and vibrant, with exceptional finesse, Dalla Valle's 2023 is lights-out. This supremely elegant Cabernet Sauvignon is Napa Valley at its most profound.

Checking in as 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the classic 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon from this brilliant estate comes all from the estate and is aging 23 months in 70% new French oak. Cassis, graphite, dark chocolate, and crushed stone notes all emerge from this rich, powerful, incredibly concentrated effort that's full-bodied, with ripe, building tannins, incredible purity, and a blockbuster finish. It's not for the instant gratification crowd and will require a decade to hit maturity, but it will be a 30- to 40-year wine.

The core Cabernet Sauvignon blocks are drawn from parcels in front of the house (the House Block), a west-facing hillside site, and a later-ripening parcel to the right of the driveway beyond the gate, which contributes natural acidity, focus and length. These components are blended with a barrel selection of estate Cabernet Franc, accounting for roughly 30% of the vineyard. The wine is aged for 23 months in 75% new French oak, with 8% matured in amphora, and fermented in the newly completed winery with extensive use of concrete vessels. The result is a wine marked by striking freshness and a distinct gravelly mineral character, with sagebrush and mint lending aromatic lift. On the palate, that gravelly minerality builds into a foundation of rich, chewy, granular textures that promise to knit together harmoniously over time in the cellar. Yet even in youth, the wine is immensely rewarding: ripe, juicy fruit shines clearly without being overshadowed by structure, while the freshness factor remains remarkably high, driving energy and persistence through the finish.

Generous and robust yet retains a sense of polish, with expressive raspberry and blueberry flavors highlighted by licorice and pepper, plus a whiff of dill as this builds toward fine-grained tannins. Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Mataro and Alicante Bouschet. Drink now through 2034. 25,000 cases made.

93 Billy Norris - Vinous Media

Another wine in this range of compelling identity, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon marries old-school varietal signatures with midweight texture and fruit-forward approachability. Rich blackberry, dark chocolate, grilled herbs and sweet pipe tobacco flesh out in the glass. Generous but not heavy, the 2023 will delight lovers of New World-inflected but classically built wines. Fabulous.

92 Matthew Luczy - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A lovely mix of old-school charm and contemporary polish, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon combines a lush core of dark fruits with lifted, herbal and tobacco nuances. The palate is rich and velvety yet light on its feet as it moves into a deep, resonant finish propelled by chalky tannins and a measured, vibrant spine of acidity.
