Dana Estates Helms Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 is a single-vineyard Napa Valley wine from gravelly soils east of Rutherford. The mild season and long picking window allowed full phenolic maturity without excessive weight. Small-lot vinification gave precise control over extraction and highlighted the vineyard’s fine-grained tannins. Ageing in a high proportion of new French oak added definition around a firm core rather than overt richness. The wine has settled into a balanced, graphite-led profile that reflects both site and season.

Robert Parker
Deep garnet with a touch of purple remaining at the rim, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Helms Vineyard gives up intense notes of blueberry pie, black forest cake and licorice with touches of dried lavender, black soil and stewed tea plus wafts of sandalwood and cedar chest. Medium to full-bodied and packed with youthful black fruits and earthy layers, it has a fine-grained yet reassuringly firm backbone and lively acid line supporting the generous fruit, finishing long with a mineral suggestion coming through. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
