Critical Reviews
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
