It is an intricate Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects both the terroir of the site and the influence of the surrounding Knights Valley AVA. It possesses layers of plums, anise, cassis, leather, bay leaf and cedar. Galvanized by a streak of minerals and bold tannins. Helena Dakota is a solidly-built wine that stands the test of time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eHELENA DAKOTA VINEYARD\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sloping, 12-acre vineyard runs southwest to northeast at roughly 750 feet above sea level. It features soft, reddish brown, gravelly, silt loam soils speckled with rocks. Prevailing westerly winds blow over a large pond and continue uphill parallel to the rows of vines. These cooling breezes slow the ripening process creating wines that are both powerful and balanced with red fruit flavors, notable minerality and graceful tannins. Pierre says the Cabernet from Helena Dakota remind him of Pauillac or Saint-Estèphe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eFragrant, opulent, and complex, bursting with fresh blueberry and black currant, Crème de Violette, and subtle fresh bay leaf aromatics.

Deep garnet-purple in color, it has a profound yet slightly broody nose to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal wonderfully fragrant notes of wild blueberries, black cherries, dark chocolate and warm cassis, followed by nuances of garrigue, violets, tar and licorice plus a touch of wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has gorgeous velvety tannins and finely knit freshness supporting generous black and blue fruits, finishing very long and achingly fragrant. Wow. 1,000 cases were made.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Wine Advocate 99 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anakota","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949099937839,"sku":"221017","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/dakaotbntl_84480c9a-1075-4492-82ae-76b9c2cbd335.png?v=1771488977","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/anakota-wines-helena-dakota-vineyard-cabernet-sauvignon-2018","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
