   CBCC fall wine tasting 2022Immediate aromatics of violets and iron. In mouth the berries are fresh, crushed fruit like viscosity to the mouthfeel. I get a faint amount of smoke and leather. Quite like a fine left bank wine. Long lingering fruit seemed to last for a minute. Really spectacular wine – had the fruit of a Napa cabernet, but the earthy taste you typically see from Bordeaux.

   Couldn’t wait to try one. Was surprised how open it was already (after 3 hour decant). Still, will not be looking at another for a few years, these could use some time.

   The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Dakota Vineyard explodes with violets, aniseed and cast iron, with a deep core of crushed blueberries and black cherries, evolving continually with each approach to the glass. The palate is stunning with its intensity and lift, pure fruits, pixelated tannins and focused acidity that drives the very long finish. Its exceptional balance and super pure flavors, plus that characteristic streak of iron that appears across the Anakota portfolio, really take the 2019 Helena Dakota to the next level. 793 cases were made.

   The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Dakota is compact with menthol oils, sage, dark iron-rich earth, and cassis. The palate is savory, with tightly wound structure, and delivers dried herbs, fresh fig, violets, and scorched earth. Allow for a few years in cellar and drink 2025-2045.

   The essence of cabernet sauvignon on the nose with cassis and fresh flowers. Full-bodied with orange peel, blackberry, cassis and hints of rose stems. Creamy and powdery tannins. Needs time to come together. Try after 2026, but already beautiful.
