Our vineyards climb the southwest-facing slopes of 4,300ft. Mount St. Helena, and are surrounded by a wilderness of cold mountain streams and forests of native fir and oak. The message of our soil, as expressed by the subtle variations of topography and geology, is conveyed in every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dark violet core of color gives rise to aromas of crunchy black cherry, ripe black currant, and fresh California bay laurel, accentuated by subtle toasted baking spices and bittersweet baking cocoa. These vibrant flavors wash across the palate, joined by crushed stone minerality from the soils of our Knights Valley Estate vineyards. Luxuriously firm tannins and bright acidity imparted by a very fine vintage balance the exuberance of the fruit and drive to a very long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVIGNERON NOTES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winter of 2021 brought very cool temperatures and below-average rainfall to Northern California, marking a second straight year of drought. To ensure equilibrium between the vines and the soils, careful pruning was performed throughout the winter months. Budbreak and flowering occurred slightly later than normal due to cool weather through March and April, but the summer months warmed up beautifully, delivering an exceptional growing season. September’s harvest produced concentrated and thick-skinned berries, with sugars and acids in ideal balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Pierre Seillan, Vigneron\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eACCLAIM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Erin Brooks, \u003ci\u003eRobert Parker Wine Advocate, \u003c\/i\u003eAugust 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fmpblock inline-blockdata block-label--elevation block-type--data look1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block--data--wrapper block--container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block--data--content\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"block--data--label\"\u003eELEVATION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block--data--divider\"\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block--data--value\"\u003e700-950 ft\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fmpblock inline-blockdata block-label--soil block-type--data look1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block--data--wrapper block--container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block--data--content\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"block--data--label\"\u003eSOIL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block--data--divider\"\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block--data--value\"\u003eYellow-white sandy and gravelly loam, and red-brown loam\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fmpblock inline-blockdata block-label--alcohol block-type--data look1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block--data--wrapper block--container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block--data--content\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"block--data--label\"\u003eALCOHOL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block--data--divider\"\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block--data--value\"\u003e14.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fmpblock inline-blockdata block-label--cellar block-type--data look1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block--data--wrapper block--container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block--data--content\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"block--data--label\"\u003eCELLAR AGING\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block--data--divider\"\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"block--data--value\"\u003e15 Years\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Anakota","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43561724281056,"sku":"113245","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/anakota-cabernet-sauvignon_1.jpg?v=1666276158","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/anakota-cabernet-sauvignon-2019-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
