Dana Estates Hershey Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon | Approx. 15% ABV | 750 mL | Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California | Estate Single-Vineyard

Process & Profile

The Hershey Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is the most elevated expression within the Dana Estates portfolio, grown on Howell Mountain at nearly 1,800 feet above sea level. The rocky, volcanic soils and cool mountain air create grapes of exceptional concentration and natural acidity. Each cluster is hand-selected and fermented in small tanks before aging for approximately 25 months in 100% new French oak barrels. The result is a bold, structured wine of immense depth, seamlessly integrating power and elegance.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Aromas of blackberry, cassis, graphite, and crushed volcanic rock with hints of espresso and cedar.

  • Palate: Dense black fruit and cocoa interwoven with mountain spice, savory herbs, and polished tannins.

  • Finish: Long, layered finish showing dark chocolate, minerality, and fine oak with lingering intensity.

What Makes It Special

  • Sourced exclusively from Hershey Vineyard on Howell Mountain, known for its steep slopes and volcanic terrain.

  • The highest-elevation site within Dana Estates’ portfolio, producing wines of remarkable structure and ageability.

  • Matured in 100% new French oak barrels for roughly 25 months to develop texture and complexity.

  • 100% Cabernet Sauvignon showcasing mountain terroir purity—bold yet balanced.

  • Produced in extremely limited quantities, making it one of the most coveted Napa Valley single-vineyard wines.

How to Enjoy

Decant for at least 60 minutes before serving at 60–65 °F to allow the mountain fruit and aromatics to open fully. Serve neat in a Bordeaux glass. The wine pairs beautifully with braised short ribs, dry-aged steak, or dark chocolate truffles. Ideal for cellaring—this Cabernet will evolve gracefully for 20+ years under proper storage conditions.
