2012 - drink if you got them - not improving from a year ago - big and bold but missing one gear from being a sports car I want it to be - still smiling at the lake with @R Bowers on his anniversary and not social distancing very well

@Mike R Thank Bud for an awesome bottle of wine that I have never had before. Very solid., Dark fruit on the palate: blackberry, dark cherry are what I immediately picked up. It seems to hit the Front and Mid Palate really well but the back palate not as much. The finish was a little short....I was hoping that it would just keep going since I was enjoying it so much ch!! It was a great lush wine which was enjoyed tremendously by all!! Thank you so much my friend!!! 👍🍷🍷👍👌

Tasted this alongside the Mt. Brave Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder. Both incredible wines but this one just had a bit more of a punch to it. Dark ruby purplish red. Insanely tight to start on the nose with some raspberries. Developed some earthy tones like truffles and mushrooms with a few hours in the glass. Not as fruity as the Mt. Brave and pretty tight with some austere mountain berries. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Definitely needs some time to fully balance out. Long and dry finish. Very impressive and everything coats the glass. Drink from 2017 till 2036.

I find that I like the fruit that comes from Howell Mountain despite who produces it. Berries on the nose, flavors of bittersweet chocolate, dusty oak that ends with a smooth finish.
