February 23, 2023 - 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.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Helms, Rutherford. This is certainly my favourite single vineyard from Dana Estates. This is luxurious, seductive and elegant with notes of creme de cassis, dark chocolate unsmoked tobacco, all spice and sandalwood. The palate is full bodied, with big and broad dark lush fruit which flood the palate along with spicy chocolate and crushed floral notes. The tannins are velvety and seductive which leads to a refined and slightly rich finish. Wow! 97++
