Wine Review: This opaque and deep purple colored 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from Anakota opens with a mild cassis and gentle cedar bouquet with hints of graphite and marionberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, super smooth, and seamless. The flavor profile is a marionberry and graphite blend with notes of ripe black plum and green tea. The finish is dry, and its well-managed fine tannins drift away nicely. We would drink this Cabe in the near term with a filet mignon. Enjoy – KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: 2021 Helena Dakota shows blackberry coulis, black plum liqueur, freshly ground coffee, and subtle dried bay leaf. The palate texture is firm and marked by flavors of bittersweet dark baking cocoa, countered by supple fruit and lush florals. The finish is long and laced with iron minerality. - Pierre Seillan, Vigneron
