Part of the Jackson Family wines portfolio, Anakota produces a wonderful collection of single-varietal wines all sourced from exceptional single vineyards across the Knights Valley in Sonoma County. The Helena Montana Vineyard sits at an elevation of 950ft above sea level and is hallmarked by its steep slopes and gravelly loam soils. The Cabernet Sauvignon produced from this site are often incredibly concentrated and powerful, with rich black fruits, spices, gravelly minerality and muscular tannins. 2006 was a superb vintage in California and this is now perfect for drinking.

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Montana’s inky purple color is followed by a rich, sumptuous bouquet of espresso roast, melted chocolate, black currants, charcoal, and subtle background oak. Full-bodied and dense with silky tannins as well as a slightly more velvety texture and opulence than its sibling, this beauty should drink well for 20-25+ years.

Good full ruby. Vibrant nose offers cassis, black cherry and violet. Densely packed, rich and sweet, but more brooding, even medicinal, and showing less early definition than the Helena Dakota. Perhaps best today on the hugely tannic but very long and subtly rising finish. This big boy is stuffed with cassis and soil flavors. — Stephen Tanzer, 1st May 2009
