Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Sorry for the pic...full on liquorice and black fruit. 2-3 years minimum. Could turn out awesome.

Apr 22nd, 2021Nose of bing cherries with a hint of cardboard. Palate is still fruit-forward with overripe cherries, sandalwood, and coffee notes. Cardboard is noticeable on the palate, too. Enjoyable, but past it’s sell by date, even though it has been well stored.

Jan 10th, 2020Got to this just in time. Leather notes on the nose. Still has a solid core of black fruits. Lovely texture and balance on the mid-palate. Slightly spicy with black pepper, strawberries and soft brown sugar. Tannins are nicely tucked in. If you like your wines vibrant, drink the 06’s now.

Jan 7th, 2018I was expecting an angel to sing in my ear, given the vintage and producer. My experience fell well short. Needed loads of air to coax it out of its shell. Overall, a disappointment.
Screwcap closure.

Screwcap. Muted, closed. Fruit profile is in the background. A chewy, backward example, which I don't think will improve from where it is today.
