Del Dotto Vineyards, St. Helena – Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon, American Oak, Block 2, 2019 ($251)

Wine label

Part of a pair of wines as a meditation on oak (see review of the French oak version), this Cabernet has very smooth flavors of red and black berries with a fair amount of wood notes and dusty tannins – very enjoyable. The oak notes, as one might expect, are a little more pronounced in this bottling, and it is perhaps a little more structured.
