Merchant's description
The DVO Napa Valley Red 2018 is composed of a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc and marks the inaugural vintage of a special collaboration between Dalla Valle in Napa Valley and Ornellaia Estate in Tuscany (hence DVO). Complex layers of ripe black plums and fresh black cherry mingle with notes of graphite, leather, cured meat and violets together with black olive and herbal character.
