Lots of dark fruit and earthiness on the nose. This Howell Mountain Cabernet delivers blackberry, plum and minerality on the palate with a somewhat gritty mouthfeel. The tannins are a little harsh but there is a strong acidic backbone which probably indicates this wine will improve with age. Beautiful winery with great views and a lovely mountain cottage that serves as their tasting room.
