Del Dotto Vineyards 2020 The Beast Cabernet Sauvignon – Magnum

The 2020 The Beast is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Del Dotto’s top Napa Valley estate vineyards, known for its opulent, structured style and exceptional aging potential — and in magnum format, it offers even greater longevity and concentration.

Vineyard & Winemaking

This vintage is a collaboration of five estate vineyards:

• 48% St. Helena Mountain

• 27% Villa Del Lago

• 19% Vineyard 887

• 4% Oakville

• 2% Rutherford

• The 2020 Beast is another stellar collaboration of the finest Cabernets from five of our Estate properties. One hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon hand-selected from our vineyards in St. Helena, Rutherford, Oakville, and Pritchard Hill. The first impression of the color is opaque, visually hearty and powerful. The bouquet is intense with ripe black cherry and blackberry, shaved dark chocolate, graphite, fresh cut tobacco, and mushroom. The mouthfeel is near perfect, viscous and well balanced. Flavors of mocha and truffle are intertwined with graham cracker, chocolate eclair, blueberries, boysenberries and black raspberries. The richness is profound, and the finish is seemingly endless. Will drink well young and should age well for 15-20 years.
