Dana Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Lotus 2023

An absolutely majestic Lotus, combining extraordinary richness with an almost ethereal sense of grace. Voluptuous layers of dark fruit glide across the palate, accented by cocoa, tobacco, warm earth and a subtle saline minerality, while flashes of citrus skin bring unexpected lift. The texture is phenomenal: broad and luxurious yet beautifully structured, with fine, grainy tannins and just enough oak framing the immense fruit. Powerful, elegant and remarkably complete already, this has tremendous presence without ever feeling heavy. Impossible to resist.
