Beatty Ranch Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

Great expression of Howell Mountain fruit. Enjoyed with my kids in celebration of the Eagles Super Bowl win!

This the 2015 out of barrel. Mid red fruits, blackberries, strawberries, cooked rhubarb, touch of backing spices, black earth with dry crushed rocks, good minerality.

On the nose, warm baked mixed dark berry pie. Fragrant blueberries, caramel, vanilla, strawberries, pomegranate, black licorice and loamy soils. On the palate, beautiful slightly; candied, juicy; dark cherries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, black raspberries, black licorice & medium tannins. The mouthfeel is; rich, lush, full and amazingly beautiful. Light peppery spices, dry crushed rocks powder, black cherry cola & soft chalky minerals. It's a beautiful wine that sings in the mouth without bite or rough edges and very nice acidity. For me, this was the wine of the tasting with potential for better things going forward. Fruit doesn't lie and the Beatty fruit is very good. I look forward to trying this again after it's additional barrel age and 8+ years of bottle evolution. Barrel tasted the 2016 vintage at the Nickel & Nickel Entrecôte. Photos of the Nickel & Nickel vines, it's red rocky soil and the environment and decor of the event in their cellar.

Smooth, delicious, lots of sediment. Love Howell Mountain! Would love to have another bottle.

Gotta remember to drink more FN/N&N! This is a great bottle. Dense and balanced dark blue fruits with a fine tannic finish.

Perfect with Alinea steak

Dark ruby color, modest black fruit on nose, young but still expressive with big tannins and just ripe cherries, strawberries, blackberries.

PNP > Howell Mtn. shines classic in nature, hoped for deeper fruit profile. Cheers 🍇🍷

Leather, oak, tobacco on nose. Full body, mild tannins, dry, hint of acidity. Plums, blueberries, and hint of caramel. Outstanding!

Blackberries and vanilla, plum, minimal oak and earth, well structured, easy to drink. Nice Howell Mountain.
