Summary

Del Dotto The David 2012 is a flagship Napa Valley red blend, showcasing 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Merlot. This wine reflects the hallmark of a benchmark vintage, characterized by its long, even ripening. It is crafted from select lots within the estate, aged in new oak barrels. The wine presents a dense purple hue, offering a rich aromatic profile of blackberry, cassis, and graphite, complemented by hints of licorice and savory notes reminiscent of roast beef. Full-bodied and opulent, it promises a complex tasting experience with structured tannins and vibrant acidity, making it an excellent candidate for aging.


Tasting Notes

WA96
The 2012 Proprietary Red Blend The David Estate is a Rutherford blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. Production is approximately 450 cases. Graphite, licorice, truffle, roast beef, blackberry and cassis aromas soar from a glass of this dense purple-colored wine. Full-bodied, opulent, complex and already impossible to resist, this glorious 2012 should drink well for a decade or more. Kudos to David Del Dotto!
