Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Nose of ripe blackberry and earth. Blueberry. Vanilla, but just a touch. On the mouth it's young, but tasty. Silky dark berries. Solid bottle of wine.

Balanced and subtle. Full of blue, red and black fruit with pine and wet earth. Seems to be in a place to drink in the near term.

Red fruited, vanilla, and some cigar box. Tannins are already softening, open for biz.

Lovely 2012.

Not a powerhouse, but a solid cab none the less

Howell Mountain is becoming one of my preferred wine regions in Napa valley, producing lovely wines from a variety of wineries and estates, this blend of CS and Petit Verdot has a deep red color, a tempting fruity and concentrated nose, with black cherries spiced with vanilla, dry figs and prunes, full rich body, well structured with loads of fruit and delicious dry tannins, it has a good acidity to carry it for another decade and a sexy long finish. My score 89, drink to 2027

I'm sure they are out there but I haven't had a bad 2012 #NapaCab yet

Big tannins, bitty, minerality, blue and black fruits. Astringent on the finish.

Killer Bordeaux style Napa cab

Smooth with minimal tannins with no decanting. Fruity. Ready to drink.
