Anakota Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Dakota Vineyard 2014

Knights Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesAnakota is located in Knights Valley over an ancient volcanic zone, where reddish-brown, gravel/silt loam soils intermingle with volcanic rock. The soils show an affinity for the main Bordeaux grapes. Since 2001, Anakota has made two single-vineyard, single varietal, single appellation estate cabs: Helena Dakota and Helena Montana. The 2014 Helena Dakota is a 12.4-acre block of vines below Mount St. Helena’s two highest peaks at 750 feet elevation. Look for a rich, dark red with savoury espresso, chocolate, laced with blackberries, cassis and some wet stone minerality. Famed Frenchman and vigneron Pierre Seillan oversees all aspects of Anakota’s planting, farming, harvesting and winemaking.Tasted: 11 May 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
