Del Dotto Caves Cabernet Sauvignon (2023)
Wine Tasting Notes
Del Dotto's 2023 Cave release opens with dark bramble fruit and ripe black cherry layered with cinnamon and dried rose petal. The palate is supple and polished, offering dark plum, blackberry and warm baking spice over soft tannins and a silky texture. Smooth and generous on the finish, it is an easygoing Napa red for relaxed evenings or a weeknight steak.
Winery/Producer Highlights
Del Dotto Vineyards — Del Dotto Vineyards is a family-owned Napa Valley winery famed for its candlelit barrel-tasting tours through historic hand-dug caves.

First made in 2000, it reflects the spirit of those cave tastings and was long known within the family as the 'hot tub wine.'
