05' Dana Helms Cabernet. The inaugural vintage. It was a little tight at first. Some sediment. A proper decanting and it shows remarkably(I came back to it in 30 min)The color is dark ruby red. The palate - loads of concentrated red fruits. Deep black fruits finishing towards the end of the palate. Drinking with moderate tannins. The acidity is still integrating with the fruit nicely. A velvet like finish! Drinking wonderfully now. I don't know what the critics would say? I think it's got 6/8 great years in it.

I want give it a rating to skew anything since I work here. But damn this is a great bottle of wine.

A truly sick bottle of wine. Decanted. For two hours but it didn't alter the wine in a significant way. This had everything going on front middle and back pallet. In the words of David, it was truly insanity in a glass. Thank God 'David uncorked one for us last night! Pop these if you have them, it is almost a pop and pour type of wine.Verdict was "Yum".
