Dana Estates 'Onda' Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA 2019

Winemaker Chris Cooney assembles the ONDA Cabernet Sauvignon from carefully selected vineyard sites across Napa Valley. Each component of the blend brings a distinctive tone and texture, creating wines of exquisite harmony and resonance. These complex wines celebrate the tempo of the vintage and the precision of the composer.

The 2019 Onda Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of blackberries, baking spice, and plum tart. Intermingled with the fruit are notes of coffee and a hint of graphite. Rich fruit with dense flavors of black cherries, plums, and currants layer with graphite and a briny minerality. The velvety mid-palate transitions to flavors of black truffle, brioche, and blackberry on the finish. The predominantly hillside provenance of the grapes lend a broad mouth coating tannin backbone. The touch of Cabernet Franc brings complexity with hints of mountain sage and lilacs. The Petit Verdot brings depth to the tannins and a hint of blueberries. While inviting now, this wine will grow in complexity as it continues to age.

Blend: 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
