2015 Helianthus by FUTO Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

JS96 Moving to the 2015s and from a single vineyard off the Old Soda Spring road (this is purchased fruit, yet the farming is managed by the Futo team), the 2015 He-Li-An-Thus has beautiful purity and complexity in its floral, cassis, blueberry, spice and rose petal-scented bouquet. This carries to a full-bodied, ripe, unctuous beauty that has sweet tannin and a great, great finish. It can be enjoyed today or cellared for 15-20 years. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc.

WA 94-96 Another blockbuster is the super-concentrated 2015 he-li-an-thus. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Petit Verdot, 14% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, it is deep, rich, concentrated, fat and succulent, with terrific intensity, richness. It could well turn out to be as successful as the 2013. Unfortunately, because of the small crop, a mere 200 cases were produced in 2015
