DANA ESTATES Cabernet Sauvignon, Hershey Vineyard 2012

This 2012 Hershey Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is an impressive effort from this vineyard high up on Howell Mountain. This is a youthful Cabernet, but as it slowly opens, the aromas spring forth from the glass with bursts of raspberry syrup, boysenberries and fresh violets. The palate is super concentrated, adding in notes of dark cherry, a hint of balsam wood with a touch of minerality. Finish is nicely focused, yet formidable. Although this can be approached early on with extended air contact, this will age effortlessly and it would be best to allow some additional bottle age. (Best 2015-2030) - September, 2015 (VM)
