Black licorice, anise nose. Pretty, with vanilla, dark fruit overtones. Striking balance. A dead ringer for Cos d'Estournel...which is not something I ever expected from Howell Mt.

2012 Lillian Rousanne. A beautiful wine from the Dundee Hills in Oregon. Who'd have guessed a great white Rhone from Oregon. Bravo. Definitely worth seeking out. I would live to see how it will age.

Good cab typicity and potential. Needs some age for those tannins and to see how it all fleshes together. Classy juice.
