Nice Howell Mountain Cab. Starting to develop some secondary aromas. Nicely structured.

Tannins settled in nicely, a wonderful representation of Howell mountain fruit. Outstanding with Italian, but could easily sip on its own in front of a warm fire on cold night. No fruit bomb or tannic mess, this is how cab should drink

Drank like a dream! Met the vintner last year and fell in love with the wine. So worth trying.
