Tasting notes
An inky dark red color, the 2021 Helena Montana Vineyard is entirely composed of Cabernet Sauvignon from this more coastally influenced site and was aged for 15 months in 85% new French oak. The nose is lush with aromas of graphite, polished leather, fresh plums, sweet tobacco, and lavender. Full-bodied and refined, it boasts a velvety texture, with a long finish and an incredible structure that will make this wine truly shine over the long haul. Give this another year or two in the bottle, though it will drink beautifully and continue to improve over the next several years. Drink: 2027-2047. 990 cases were produced.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Montana Vineyard was matured for 15 months in 85% new French oak. It has an opaque ruby color and unfurls slowly on the nose, segueing from soy sauce, tar and Chinese five spice to red and black cherries and aniseed. The full-bodied palate is most notable for its Goldilocks ripeness—it sits at a modest 13.6% alcohol—and its youthfully coiled flavors are streaked with spice and iron tones. It has an exceptionally powdery texture and bright acidity, and touches of herbs and flowers emerge on the long, latent finish. 990 cases produced.
