Dana 'Hershey Vineyard' Cabernet Sauvignon 2014Howell Mountain

The incredibly rocky, rhyolitic soils of this Howell Mountain site provide fruit with structure and depth, yet the cool climate produces a wine of restraint and vibrant acidity. An underlying minerality gives the wine a particularly distinctive character and provides another layer of complexity. The appellation has become a favorite of collectors who value the age-worthy capacity of wines from this elevation. "Aromas of blackberry and cassis fruit, exotic spices, dark chocolate and espresso. The palate is full bodied with layers of ripe blackberries, speck, licorice and the classic Hershey minerality. The wine is dense and structured as you would expect from Howell Mountain, but with a more opulent finish. This wine will grow in complexity as it ages. Best enjoyed 2019 through 2032." 222 cases were produced.
