Anakota
The Helena Dakota Vineyard 2002 vintage is a deep ruby color with saturated aromas of blackberry, dark cherry and subtle hints of oak. The dark fruit leads the way to a slight mineral finish with traces of cocoa and coffee. Supple tannins support a powerful yet elegant structure. Enjoyment is enhanced by decanting.
Wine Enthusiast
It’s sometimes overlooked that Jess Jackson produces very small quantities of competitive wines such as this. This 100% Cabernet is a mountain wine, dense in tannins and very dry, yet intense in classically Cabernet black currant fruit. The all new French oak feels natural. As good as it is, more refinement is necessary, but Anakota is a label worth watching.
Score: 92. —Steve Heimoff, September 01, 2006.Wine Advocate
The dark ruby/purple-tinged 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Dakota offers pretty raspberry/floral notes with a Chateau Margaux-like finesse and complexity. Medium to full-bodied with a more elegant, restrained style than its younger sibling, it possesses a Bordeaux-like structure, beautiful fruit, firm tannin, and a long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2024.
