Anakota 2008 Helena Dakota Cabernet Sauvignon (Knights Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $75
Tastes big, thick and full-bodied, with ripe fruit and new oak dominating. The particular flavors are of blackberries and black currants. The tannins are fierce and dry, making the wine barely drinkable now. Cellar it until 2015, at the very least.

Anakota 2008 Helena Montana Cabernet Sauvignon (Knights Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $75
This is a big, rich, dramatic Cabernet, marked with flavors of ripe blackberry and black currant. It’s clearly a pedigreed wine, yet it’s young and aggressive in tannins, making it astringent. Cellar it for a good eight years, to see what it can do.

Anakota 2002 Helena Dakota Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Knights Valley)
- $80
It’s sometimes overlooked that Jess Jackson produces very small quantities of competitive wines such as this. This 100% Cabernet is a mountain wine, dense in tannins and very dry, yet intense in classically Cabernet black currant fruit. The all new French oak feels natural. As good as it is, more refinement is necessary, but Anakota is a label worth watching.

Anakota 2002 Helena Montana Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Knights Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $80
Mountain grapes have yielded an intense, concentrated young Cabernet, grown on the Sonoma side of Mount St. Helena. The wine is brash, dry and astringently tannic now. But it possesses a classic elegance and refinement and a remarkable core of cassis fruit. How could it not develop, given the balance and harmony? Best 2008–2015.
