Black Cat Vineyard
Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Elegant, restrained, lovely. Nose delivers savory spices, a hint of green pepper, blackberry, maybe some black cherry. Mike though he was catching some hot cocoa aromas. Palate is supple, medium-bodied, well-balanced, showing hints of tart cherries, some earthiness, pepper, perhaps sage. A winner--2010 is right on time for us.

Well done. Restrained but powerful with blackberry and cherry. Leather, dusty cocoa and hint of menthol. Fine tannins.

Oct 23rd, 2015Supple but assertive, earthy on the nose, dusty blackberry on the palate, will improve over the next 5 years.
