Score 93/100 · Drink 2016-2028, Robert Parker, Oct 2013

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon The David, a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, plays it a little closer to the vest than the Vineyard 887 or The Beast. A more classically defined wine, it displays restrained black currant and loamy soil notes intertwined with a touch of background oak. Medium to full-bodied and well-delineated with a tannic grip that suggests several years of bottle age will be beneficial, it should be at its finest between 2016 and 2028. The irrepressible David Del Dotto continues to offer a flamboyant presence in Napa Valley, but there is no discounting just how impressive his wines can be. Tel. (707) 963-2134
