Ohhhhh....big and dark, seductive- dense without being aggressive could age much longer. Complex. Loved.

All the good stuff. Full bodied and succulent dark red with wet earth, fungi, dark berries and tobacco. Concentrated palate with strong tannins and a long rich jammy finish.

2015 vintage. Great but too youthful to really fire on all cylinders.

Delicious. Full bodied, dark fruit, oak vanilla, tobacco, everything settled into good balance. Classic big napa cab. Drink now.

Nose is smoke/must, getting no fruit. Palate is strawberry, rasberry (?), smoke. Representative of Howell terroir... just feel something is missing here. Markedly better at hour 3, menthol on the nose and more fruit on the palate.
