Winemaker Notes
The 2016 growing season began early, although we saw a moderate summer with a few heat spikes in July. A welcome period
of cooling arrived in September just in time for harvest. The 2016 vintage of Helena Montana Cabernet Sauvignon is black violet
in color. On the nose, aromas of fresh bay leaf, subtle eucalyptus oil, lavender, and rosemary accompany concentrated fruit
aromas of dried blackberry and black currant. French Oak supports characters of fresh coffee, ground clove, red hot cinnamon,
and brown buttered toast. This wine deserves it’s place in a cool cellar, as today’s balance will truly reward patience, tomorrow.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Montana Vineyard (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) comes from a vineyard that contains more volcanic rock. Deep purple-black in color, it reveals slightly tarry notes to begin, soon opening out to beautiful black cherry, black berry and warm cassis scents with hints of cigar box, charcuterie, licorice and Indian spices. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness supporting the densely packed earth layers, finishing very long and savory. This needs time!

James Suckling
Blackberries and blackcurrants with hints of hazelnuts and rose bush. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh and spicy finish with currant bush and green walnuts. Try after 2022.
