Dana Estate Helms Vineyard 2008 1.5L Size:1.5L The principal component comes from"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
