Eighth wine and sixth from Howell Mountain. Deep garnet red. Very tight initially on the nose with some undertones of red fruits, slight vegetal characteristics and some metallic elements. Heavy tannins (8/10) with a moderate body that leads to a long dry finish. A little bit of minerality, some earthiness and vegetal notes apparent throughout. Tannins still lingering into the finish. Drink til 2023. Bottle number 4823.

Love it! Definitely pick up the old world style in this. Looking forward to trying again in a few years.

I am such a fan of Neal wines. 2005 is tastings perfect right now! Notes of leather, cedar, a little licorice, dry finish with silky tannins and deep, red currant and cassis notes. Delish!! #cabernetsauvignon #neal #napa #2005

This guy is rocking! Jammed so thick with cassis and black rose, I can see fruit of all dark colors for miles. It was a treat for sure.
