Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA
Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits and meaty oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with earthy notes of mushroom and leather. Chewy fine dusty tannins, medium+ length, ending with earthy character. Great now! Tasting Sample.

Soft nose 👃🏻 of cafe mocha. Deep purple in the glass, soft and supple mouthfeel. Tannins are pitch perfect. Not as concentrated as most of the fruit that comes from Howell. Blueberry, plum skin, pencil shaving, toasted coconut and cream round out the entire palate. Finish rebounds with creamed de cassis and vanilla. Very nice and elegant.

Deep garnet color, pink edges on the glass. Medium/heavy viscosity, no noticeable sediment. The nose has oak, ripe fresh blackberry and raspberry jam, white pepper, molasses. The palate is bold and has oak, leather, very subtle coffee, earth, mushroom. Smooth finish and nicely balanced with some acidity.
