Dana Estate Helms Vineyard 2008 1.5L US Red and a spectacular finish with"There are 312 cases of the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Helms Vineyard, which has put on considerable weight since last year. Its dense purple color is accompanied by a glorious nose of dusty, loamy soil notes intermixed with black raspberry, black currant, camphor and subtle spicy oak. Deep, rich and full bodied with velvety tannins and a long finish, it should drink well for 20 25 years." Wine Advocate, RP96, tasted 12 2010
