Anakota
Helena Montana Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Knights Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Maybe not the best choice for a summer's day, but it is certainly an extravagant one.
Cassis, coffee, black fruits and kirsch on the nose. On the palette, the wine seems to have shed some puppy fat. It has evolved to become less viscous and more delineated. Excellent balanced structure, complicated with tobacco, smoke, maraschino cherries and cinnamon. Finishes long and sweet, with a plush texture. This is an excellent single vineyard, 100% cab blockbuster.

Wow! Just up my alley...
Extravagant nose of syrup, exotic fruits and jam compote.
On the palette, the wine is framed with text-book tannins. The flavors sail on. Huge depth and length. Excellent KV example.

Cigar aroma and taste. Big brilliant, full body with very ripe ripe black fruits. Thick and just brew Espresso lasting taste!

Inviting nose, nice balance of fruit and acid, but a bit short on the finish. A pleasant drink.

Inky dark berries, chocolate, followed by currants and oak. Dry tannins dominate a long finish

Dark fruits, needs more age and needs to breath a couple of hours.

Big wine. Too big. Balanced and not unpleasant in any specific way, just not my style.
