Note di degustazione
The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard shows the added depth and palate presence of Howell Mountain. Dark cherry fruit, gravel, crushed rocks, tar, goudron, menthol and licorice build in this super-expressive Cabernet from Dana. Firm Howell Mountain tannins wrap around the potent, driving finish.

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard, which comes from a site on Howell Mountain, is still youthful, with a dense plum color as well as a powerful, masculine nose of blackcurrants, chocolate, graphite, and scorched earth. It stays tight, compact, and structured on the palate, with lots of tannins, and it remains to be seen if there's enough fruit to handle all the structure. At the end of the day, I think it does. Give bottles another 3-4 years and it should keep for another decade.
Amazing aromas of blackberries, blueberries, mushrooms and violets. Full body with a dense, precise palate and a firm, intense finish. Masculine but formed and polished. This needs at least four or five years to come even more together.
