The Helena Montana Vineyard 2002 vintage is a deep garnet color that veers into purple. The fruit is concentrated and bright with an initial raspberry fragrance followed by black pepper, spice and cedar. Elegant tannins and velvety mouth feel characterize this bold and complex Cabernet Sauvignon with hints of black currant, chocolate and coffee on a very long finish. Enjoyment is enhanced by decanting. - Pierre Seillan, Vigneron/Winemaker

93+ POINTS, Robert Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate, February 2005 Possesses aromas of white flowers intermixed with spice box, licorice, black currants, raspberries, cherries, toasty oak, and background scents of volcanic/scorched earth. With lovely richness, medium to full body, impressive purity, and a long, heady finish, it should hit its peak in 3-4 years, and last through 2020+.
