O'Shaughnessy
Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
I'd buy a case if I had room in the cellar. STUNNING, show stopping and for the price, probably the most dominant $100 out of Napa. Keep up the good work. Minerals crushed rocks, fresh fresh black fruit that was exposed to some tricky oak. I'll definitely revisit.

Nov 11th, 2015Somehow hides out just north of Cakebread, Caymus, and Silver Oak. A spectacular combination of fruit and balanced oak. Amazing wine well worth seeking out.

Feb 27th, 2013Not as lush as other vintages I’ve had. This ‘09 shows more mineral notes and a tangy acidity in the finish. I’’d be curious to see how this evolves over the next few years.
