Dalla Valle Vineyards
On Oakville’s eastern hillsides, where Napa Valley meets altitude, the focus at Dalla Valle Vineyards in California has been unwavering since 1986: a true estate, read block by block.
Founded by Naoko and Gustav Dalla Valle, the vineyards sit above the valley floor on iron-rich, red, clay-laced soils, cooled by Pacific influence. Cabernet Sauvignon drives the structure, Cabernet Franc brings contour, and every harvest is hand-picked and rigorously sorted by parcel for small-lot vinification.
Fermentations are handled with precision and restraint, then élevage in French oak is calibrated to the vintage, sometimes paired with time in more neutral vessels to privilege texture over imprint. Under the family’s steady stewardship, estate bottling remains the rule—place first, always.Dalla Valle Vineyards
