"The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ca ‘Nani Vineyard boasts the blackest, most opaque color of this group. Part of Del Dotto’s Connoisseurs Series, it reveals strikingly pure, intense, persuasive notes of graphite, blackberry and blueberry liqueur. Broad, expansive and rich, this is a tour de force, multilayered Cabernet Sauvignon built like a skyscraper. Everything is in balance, and this wine, which transcends it category, is one of the iconic and great efforts in 2010. Kudos to David Del Dotto! Drink it over the next 20+ years."
