Wild berry and chocolate. Medium- tannin. 2010 vintage. Good to drink wine by itself but not well matched with ribeye steak.

Not the strongest vintage for this wine. A bit disjointed and flat finish. More bottle age will not improve this vintage. Other vintages are more structured with layered depth and finish, making it a great everyday drinking cab.

Rather disappointing. Even after opening it was too sharp

Ok wine.. not great.. expected more given the Dana pedigree! More savory than fruity, still tannic and oaky .. took a while to open up but still underwhelming!

Big, bold, and rich. Generous sweet cherries, balanced with nice acidity, and fine tannins that stood up to and paired perfectly with the spicy BBQ at Cote.

This wine continues to drink well with filet mignon or without. Bright dark fruit, vanilla oak, some coffee notes, and Rutherford dust!

Wonderful wine from Dana that is approachable immediately upon opening! Bright fruit, vanilla, and dust combine to present an enjoyable second wine from the Estate.

DANA’s third label cab. This wine gets better with each vintage. Every winery should be so lucky to have their 3rd label be so good (good value too).

This DANA 3rd lable is a tremendous value. Full bodied with expressive fruit and nice structure, although a bit jammy for my tastes. A nice choice for a every day weekday indulgence.
