Dana Description

The 2019 Lotus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of fresh blackberry, cassis, pencil lead, and a hint of toffee and toasted pecans. Opulent flavors of black plum and blackberries mingle with wild herbs, caramel, and cacao. The wine captures the essence of the vintage with its broad plush texture and dark fruit mingled with savory spices.

Critical Acclaim

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Lotus vineyard is just below Howell Mountain, not high enough to make that AVA. A very steep vineyard, 100% hand farmed, Lotus is by far the warmest site for this estate. The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lotus Vineyard is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot, due to be aged for 25 months in French oak barrels, 100% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with powerful scents of blackcurrant cordial, chocolate-covered cherries and boysenberries with hints of licorice, black truffles, red roses and fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, taut, firm and and vibrant in the mouth, it has profound earth and savory layers with a long, long mineral layered finish.

A perfect wine any way you look at it, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lotus Vineyard is another full-bodied, structured wine from Dana, and it's certainly the most tannic of the 2019s. Inky hued, with a blockbuster nose of ripe black and blue fruits, chocolate, graphite, and leafy tobacco, it brings serious richness and depth on the palate, with lots of ripe tannins, flawless balance, and a great, great finish. This is every bit as good as the 2016 and belongs up with the greatest Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon out there. Give bottles 3-4 years and enjoy over the following three decades.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lotus Vineyard is a total stunner. What a wine. Rich, sumptuous and enveloping, the 2019 makes a strong first impression and never lets up. There's tremendous density and power, but tons of layers and overall vibrancy that lend balance. Plum, mocha, licorice, espresso and a kick of new French oak build into the huge, sumptuous finish. As always, the Lotus has a bit more overt oak influence than the other wines, but it works well here.
