About the Wine
Hi Sang purchased the Howell Mountain estate winery in 2005, but the Dana Estates property has been recognized and farmed in Napa since 1883.
Dana is a Sanskrit term meaning “the Spirit of Generosity."
Philippe Melka has worked at Chateau Haut Brion, Dominus, and a slew of top properties in Napa where he runs a consultancy. He has worked with and been influenced by Christian Moueix at Petrus, Michel Rolland, Jean Delmas, and Paul Draper.
Blend: 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc
Although this spent 20 months in French oak, the wine sees less new oak than the Dana wines.
Reviews
A firm, chewy red with very attractive, chewy tannins and juicy fruit. Blue fruit and spices. Full body. Intense. Flavorful finish. Drink or hold. ~94JS
