JEB DUNNUCK 94 POINTS - "The 2021 Collina is close to an even split of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 8% Petit Verdot. It's a concentrated, nicely balanced, structured second wine that has both red and black currant-like fruit as well as classic notes of lead pencil, loamy earth, graphite, and spice. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has a good spine of acidity, and a great finish."
ANTONIO GALLONI 92 POINTS - "Generational transition is one of the hardest things for family wineries to deal with, regardless of region. Maya Dalla Valle has done a tremendous job with her 2021s. The wines marry all the textural intensity readers have come to expect here but also show a touch more precision and nuance than in the past. These magnificent wines point to a brilliant future as Dalla Valle moves into its second generation."
"The 2021 Collina Dalla Valle is a joyous wine. Bright, punchy and full of character, the 2021 is flat-out delicious. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco coast from the glass. Vibrant acids lend tons of energy and freshness. Collina della Valle has long been one of my favorite wines in this category. The 2021 is an absolute knockout. Best of all, it will drink well with minimal cellaring."
