Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA
Another gift from the somm table. Mature but definitely not old. Intense aromas of earth and tobacco notes joined by leather.
Smooth and caressing in the mouth. Just a little bit of brett that is smothered by flavors of cherries, , plums and minerals. This bottle would more than hold its own in a Bordeaux tasting

Wonderful evening at the City Club courtesy of Jeff’s hosting at the Friday group. Cellar guessing Jeff is a dangerous game as he’s the type who plans to throw curveballs! All wines served blind.
Ageless. Based on color, I immediately thought Napa but the palate had me second guessing. Some rose petal, spice and tart cherry. Cedar. This tastes so much younger than the ‘88 I opened a few months back. Wonderful wines.

Hard to say when this will come around. Still a Bradley Tank of a wine.

Decant for sediment and pour. Still a wondrous dark garnet with bricking. On the nose: beautiful gotta keep coming back notes of dark plum, smoked meat, cigar box, touch of barnyard funk, vanilla spice. Taste: silky smooth with brambly cherry, dirt, leather, cedar, grilled peppered meat with a medium plus finish. YUM! Still drinking well at 33 years old.

Youthful & drinking like a 10 yr old Cab. Lots of red & black fruits, cassis, menthol, cedar, leather, licorice & tobacco leaf.
