Dana Estates - Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard 2019

 I was blown away by the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard. This is pure Napa Valley magic. Incredible cassis and darker berry fruits as well as smoked tobacco, graphite, and chalky minerality all define the bouquet, and it has a Château Latour-like structure and regalness on the palate. Perfectly balanced, deep, and concentrated, with perfectly integrated tannins, it should merit another point in a decade and will have 30-40 years of longevity. 

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard is stellar. It possesses remarkable density and huge power, all in a mid-weight frame. Graphite, blue/purplish fruit, menthol, sage and lavender race across the palate, framed by bright, salivating acids and plenty of Howell Mountain tannin. Even with all its intensity, the Hershey remains medium in body and supremely elegant. This has really come along since bottling. Magnificent! 

Located just below the elevation of the Howell Mountain AVA, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lotus Vineyard is a ripe, sumptuous offering. Unlike the Onda, it shows no evidence of warmth. Instead, it boasts elegant, perfumed scents of violets married to black cherries and cassis and underscored by hints of cedar and vanilla. Aged 25 months in new French oak, it's full-bodied in the mouth, managing to be both silky and plush, while also having considerable structure and length. Impressive stuff for sure.
