"David Del Dotto’s 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Mountain is a prodigious example of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. At 15.5% natural alcohol, it is a full-throttle wine, but unless you are an alcoholphobe, you will not notice any heat or balance issues. It possesses luxurious blackberry, blueberry and cassis fruit along with hints of licorice, camphor and spring flowers. Full-bodied, pure and beautifully textured with nicely integrated acidity, wood and tannin, this blockbuster should drink well for two decades or more."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
California's most prestigious wine region, celebrated worldwide for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Diverse soils and mountain-to-valley-floor sites yield wines of remarkable ripeness, power and longevity.
St. Helena is a warm valley-floor sub-AVA in Napa Valley, California, producing rich, ripe and generously fruited Cabernet Sauvignon of supple tannins, plush texture and classic Napa structure.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
