Not showing as well as we had hoped. Still a very enjoyable bottle.

I brought this for James the husband of our birthday girl Christina. James loves bold Napa Cabernet. This 07 Arkenstone Howell Mountain was drinking beautifully but will still benefit from another 3-5 years in bottle and has another 10+ years of drinking ahead. The one distinct character I always get from Howell Mtn. are the beautiful blue fruits they generally show. The Arkenstone didn’t disappoint. Beautiful dark cassis with blue fruits shining throughout. Bold, round, elegant body, beautiful balance of fruit and earth and well polished long finish.

Black fruit, mushroom, umami. M round tannin. Black fruit, cherry, and plum. Minerality and lean. M acid. Long lingering finish. This wine is awesome! This wine has many years to go and will just get better.
