The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Dakota Vineyard explodes with violets aniseed and cast iron with a deep core of crushed blueberries and black cherries evolving continually with each approach to the glass. The palate is stunning with its intensity and lift pure fruits pixelated tannins and focused acidity that drives the very long finish. Its exceptional balance and super pure flavors plus that characteristic streak of iron that appears across the Anakota portfolio really take the 2019 Helena Dakota to the next level. 793 cases were made.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Dakota is compact with menthol oils sage dark iron-rich earth and cassis. The palate is savory with tightly wound structure and delivers dried herbs fresh fig violets and scorched earth. Allow for a few years in cellar and drink Drink: 2025-2045.
James Suckling: 97 Points
The essence of cabernet sauvignon on the nose with cassis and fresh flowers. Full-bodied with orange peel blackberry cassis and hints of rose stems. Creamy and powdery tannins. Needs time to come together. Try after 2026 but already beautiful.
The Wine Independent: 96+ Points
The 2019 Helena Dakota Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple in color. It tears out of the glass with wildly expressive scents of creme de cassis dried sage iron ore and cedar chest giving way to notions of crushed rocks and black truffles. Full-bodied the palate has a sturdy structure of ripe grainy tannins and just enough freshness supporting the tightly knit muscular layers finishing long and minerally. 1379 cases were made. The vineyard here is now 22 years old. Located at the most eastern side of Sonoma in Knights Valley near Peter Michael estate a gap allows the cooling wind to come here from the Pacific Ocean. Drink: 2025-2042
