What a unique tasting experience! Fleury Estate makes the wine for a private label at the local wine shop in FtWorth. We tasted through some of their wines in their barrel room under a very cool canopy and lighted setting. A lot of the wines we tasted were very similar (lots of blends, heavy on zin) and this Howell Mountain BDX was delicious. Represents Bordeaux nicely but has the Napa fruit forward style. Oscar who did our tasting was very knowledgeable and gave insight to the importance of single varietal wines. Love the tannic, dark, dusty Howell Mountain wines!

We had the 2010 Vintage on 12/28/19. Dark purple in color. Black fruit and anise on the bouquet. Blackberry, plum and chocolate on the palate. The finish was long and smooth. The tannins smoothed out over an hour. A real good Napa red.

This is one of the best cabs I have ever had at any price point. It’s best described as a show stopper! Was very fortunate to have this wine with a good friend that shared it with me. Would recommend for a special occasion to anyone without reservation over most anything else...
