The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Montana Vineyard (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) comes from a vineyard that contains more volcanic rock. Deep purple-black in color, it reveals slightly tarry notes to begin, soon opening out to beautiful black cherry, black berry and warm cassis scents with hints of cigar box, charcuterie, licorice and Indian spices. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness supporting the densely packed earth layers, finishing very long and savory. This needs time! 920 cases produced.

A gorgeous, promising wine, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Montana captures all the personality that makes wines from this site so alluring. Intensely mineral and savory, the 2016 has more than enough nuance to play off the intense, inky fruit. Lavender, menthol, licorice, sage and blackberry jam meld into the dense, powerful finish.
