Helena Montana

Helena Montana Cabernet Sauvignon

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.

Helena Montana Vineyard

Running southwest to northeast at an elevation of 950 feet above sea level, the 60-acre Helena Montana vineyard is marked by rolling hills and steep benches that rise up to 30 degrees. It features firm, yellow-white gravelly loam soils of volcanic origin that drain extremely well. The surrounding topography of hills, knolls, and forests, helps route cool, westerly winds away from the vines, enhancing the warmth of this unique site, resulting in wines that are aromatic, concentrated, and firmly structured.
