    2/23/2023 - Likes this wine: 95 Points

    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 2017 Helms was showing incredibly well give the nature of the vintage. Aromas of blackcurrant, fig, dark chocolate and fresh herbs wafted from the glass. The palate was full bodied with dark and more developing fruit, fig and currents along with sweet spices filled the mid-palate, surprisingly fresh yet with that more fig texture showing the 2017 vintage. 95++
