and full-bodied richness make this one of the most distinctive and extraordinary wines of Napa
I am not surprised to see that the 2019 has shut down a bit post-bottling
intense and extremely impressive with length to burn
this is a multi-dimensional wine that was extremely approachable and drinkable in both tastings I had of it

Dana Estate Helms Vineyard 2019 750mL Italy and full-bodied richness make this"Showing consistently (if not a touch better) than earlier this year, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Helms Vineyard is a medium to full bodied, complex, incredibly satisfying Cabernet offering lots of cassis and plum fruits, ripe, integrated tannins, wonderful purity of fruit, and lifted, exotic notes of candied violets, tobacco, and spice. It's drinking nicely today, but it should have two decades of overall longevity." Jeb Dunnuck, JD97, tasted 2 2023
