Dana Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Onda 2011
The Winery
Dana Estates
Dana Estate was named after the Sanskrit term meaning “the Spirit of Generosity.” Dana’s wines certainly live up to their name, delivering generously bold, fruit forward, full bodied Napa Cabs.
The winery was established by a South Korean businessman Hi Sang Lee, who was influenced by and consulted with some of the greatest Napa wineries and wine makers including Joseph Phelps and Philippe Melka. With their help and expertise, Lee pushed to produce some of the highest quality and very rare, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon’s in the world focusing on four vineyards: Helms, Hershey, the lauded Lotus as well as their newest vineyard, Crystal Springs. Dana certainly lives up to its name, so in the spirit of Dana estates, be generous to your taste buds and try these incredibly rare gems!
Summary
Dana Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Onda 2011 is a Napa Valley blend from carefully selected estate lots, showcasing the region's potential for elegance and refinement. This vintage benefited from cooler weather, resulting in a fresher, medium-bodied wine with a vibrant profile. Tasting notes reveal layers of red and black currant, plum, and hints of tobacco leaf, complemented by cedar and graphite. The wine features bright acidity and fine tannins, making it approachable yet complex. It has been aged for over 20 months in French oak, ensuring a well-rounded character. The name 'Onda' translates to 'wave,' symbolizing the dynamic nature of this wine.
