(6/2018) Light on its feet yet screaming from the rooftops with flavor, the 2015 Alena is vibrant, full, complex and completely charming. The flavor descriptors nearly endless, including raspberry, wild strawberry, Bing cherry, cassis, fennel pollen, burnt caramel, red rose, licorice, dusty red clay and toasted vanilla oak. Whew, that's a ton of flavor and just when you think it's over, there's another push of savory spice, red apple skin and firm tannins on the extremely long finish. A beautiful Cabernet!

(8/14/2018) "Lots of fresh blue fruit such as blueberries and elderberries, as well as plenty of fresh herbs and spices. Medium body, fresh acidity and a juicy finish. Drink now. Screw cap."

Helen & Joey Estate "Inara" Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2016

Our Score
(10/2017) We absolutely LOVE this wine and cannot wait for you to try it! An initial pop of tropical fruit on the nose extends to the palate with flavors of pineapple, mango and Meyer lemon curd. Stony minerality is complemented by a sophisticated mouthfeel from the lees contact and five months in Troncais oak. The complexity is what sets the Inara Chardonnay apart from the crowd. Only 333 cases produced. If you need the perfect pairing for grilled chicken, grilled vegetables or even spicy tuna at your favorite sushi BYO, you'll want to grab a case of this estate grown gem.

(6/2018) The 2017 growing season in Yarra Valley was cool and long, making for a complex Cabernet with aromas and flavors of black cherry, macerated blackberry, cassis, fresh herbs, olive tapenade and dusty cocoa nib along with a touch of baking spice and a wonderful stony minerality on the finish. Incredibly balanced with brisk acidity and firm, soft tannins.
