The Dana Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard 2016 is a majestic wine from Napa Valley’s Howell Mountain, crafted by a winery celebrated for its artisanal, terroir-driven Cabernets. This vintage, from a year of balance and concentration, presents a deep ruby hue and a complex bouquet of black cherry, cassis, and graphite, with hints of spice, earth, and violets adding intrigue. On the palate, it is plush and structured, with velvety tannins and vibrant acidity framing flavors of dark fruit, mocha, and subtle oak. The wine’s elegance reflects Dana Estate’s meticulous approach to viticulture, with grapes sourced from the Hershey Vineyard’s high-elevation terroir. Hand-harvested and aged in French oak, the 2016 Hershey offers a harmonious balance of power and finesse, culminating in a long, mineral-laced finish. Ideal for pairing with roasted lamb or a rich vegetarian dish, this Cabernet is approachable now but will continue to evolve over the next 20 years. Its depth and refinement make it a Napa Valley gem.
