"We start with Nino Franco’s NV Prosecco Rustico, which sets the mood for a relaxing dinner after a long day of tasting 2014 Napa Valley Cabernets."

92 Decanter

""Crisp and crunchy with aromas of lime zest, green apples and cut grass. Tangy and bright with a light to medium body and clean finish. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap."

98 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

" A juicy, young Brunello with berry, dried mushroom and flower character. Orange peel, too. Full body, firm and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. So complex and beautiful. It goes on for minutes. I love the balance that makes it so enjoyable to try now but it will age for decades ahead. Try to leave it until 2021."

Very textural and chewy, this wine is lively, deep and youthful, offering exuberant red and black cherries with accents of bay leaves, raspberries and mint. Backed by fine-grained tannins and good, lively acidity on a full body. Drink or hold.

"Tart scents of Rainier cherries and quince fill this gentle sparkler, along with a touch of greenness. Chill it for prawns."

"The 2019 DVO (Dalla Valle Ornellaia) is a tour-de-force and wins our vote as ‘most likely to succeed’ new player on Napa’s Cult Cabernet scene! 2019 is only the second public release and is a proprietary blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, demonstrating how well these two grapes blend together when crafted by two brilliant winemakers. Maya Dalla Valle’s eponymous Cult Cabernet blend (also features Cabernet Franc) is one of California’s original five Cult wines and Axel Heinz is world-renowned for his craftsmanship at Italy’s Ornellaia and Massetto. The alluring bouquet shows fresh spring flowers, blueberry, raspberry, a hint of vanilla and subtle pipe tobacco in the background. Those delightful flavors continue and dance across the palate alongside semi-sweet cocoa, dark cherry, baking spices, and graphite. This is pure genius and a profoundly delicious cuvée, not only showcasing the talents of its makers, but the brilliance and freshness of 2019. We recommend decanting (minimum 30 minutes) if you pop a cork prior to 2025. Worthy of 99 points now, this thoroughbred will provide an exhilarating race through 2040 and could very well merit a triple digit score along the way. Bravo! (November 2022)"

I like the savory iodine and bark notes here overlaid with black berry fruit, nutmeg and bay leaves. It’s juicy and supple with a medium to full body, silky tannins and soft, salty finish. Drink now or hold. Screw cap.

91 Joe Czerwinski - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Yes, it is still possible to get a balanced, cellar-worthy Napa Cab for under a hundred. Heitz's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon accents just-ripe cherries with scents of dried herbs and mint, then offers a medium to full-bodied sensation on the palate, marked by gentle tannins. Ripe and fairly forward, with a softly dusty finish, this can be consumed young, or any time over the next decade or more.
