  The blend here adds a great balance to the cab with a bit of Malbec and PV. Decanted 45 minutes and drinking great. Dark ripe to over ripe red and black fruit. Tobacco, baking spice, and a hint of dried herbs. Drinking great now.

  Premiere Napa Valley; 2/22/2023-3/25/2023 (Napa, California): Fantastic tasting at Dana Estates, the 2019s are all showing very well. The Onda was the highlight of the tasting - punching way above it's weight, also Helms is certainly my favourite Single vineyard. Jae commented that they finally found the perfect signature blend for Onda, and it is really coming into its own style.
  
  The Vaso with majority Cabernet Sauvignon is using grapes from the younger wines, yet still the same winemaking team as those at Dana Estates. This shows notes of Darker fruit, bitter chocolate, tobacco, sandalwood, vanilla, baking spices and black pepper. The palate is big and muscular with rich dark spicy fruit, earthy undertone, firm grainy tannins with a medium spicy finish.
