Powerful, structured, and complex, Helena Montana chronicles the terroir at this steep, Knights Valley hillside site. The signature aromatics include ripe red and black currant, along with freshly tanned leather, bouquet garni, and cedar, with a subtle frame of sweet baking spices. The palate is a tour de force of varied fruit and non-fruit flavors, wrapped around a powerful core, teeming with firm tannin and juicy acidity. While Helena Montana shows well in its youth, it is a wine that will greatly reward patient cellaring.

In contrast, Anakota's Knights Valley Cabernet boasts a dark violet core of color gives rise to aromas of crunchy black cherry, ripe black currant, and fresh California bay laurel, accentuated by subtle toasted baking spices and bittersweet baking cocoa. These vibrant flavors wash across the palate, joined by crushed stone minerality from the soils of their Knights Valley Estate vineyards.

Take home these three highly-rates wines, the perfect addition to any wine lover's cellar.
