Vintage Character The 2016 Dana Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard is a striking single-vineyard expression from Howell Mountain in Napa Valley, renowned for its rugged terrain and high elevation. The 2016 vintage in Napa Valley was widely celebrated for its long, moderate growing season and ideal weather, resulting in wines with superb balance and structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded an impressive 96 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Cabernet opens with layered aromas of blackberry, cassis, and violet, accented by graphite and crushed stone. On the palate, it delivers concentrated dark fruit, espresso, and subtle spice, supported by finely woven tannins and a persistent, mineral-driven finish. The wine’s depth and mountain-grown energy make it an excellent partner for grilled lamb chops, aged Gouda, or a classic beef stir-fry with black bean sauce, highlighting its complexity alongside robust flavors.
