Dana Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Lotus Vineyard 2009

Lotus in cooler vintage such as 2009 produces a wine of intensity and complexity. This wine displays aromas of ripe warm blackberry, wormwood, coffee and fennel. The concentration, depth of flavors and full tannins reflect its mountain character. Dark fruit characteristics with notes of dried plum are balanced by a nice acidity and freshness, with clove notes providing an added layer of complexity. Optimum maturity will range from 15-20 years.

97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

 A rich, sensual wine, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Lotus Vineyard captures the best qualities of the vintage. Layers of dark red fruit, kirsch, sweet spices, tobacco and herbs saturate the palate as this large-scaled, voluptuous wine opens up in the glass. There is a purity and centeredness to the 2009 that is striking. At the same time, the tannins aren’t quite as polished as they are in the very best wines here. Overall, though, that is a pretty small critique for a wine that delivers so much pure pleasure. Exotic spice and kirsch notes reappear on the finish. The 2009 was fermented in a combination of 45% oak uprights, 45% cement and 10% barriques. It spent 26 months in 100% new French oak barrels. (AG)
