Nov 2nd, 2023Totally get why ppl love Napa Cab. Tons of unctuous fruit. Loads of stuff going on in nose: that lovely blueberry, baking spice black fruit thing Napa Cab has. Long finish. Lovely.

Jun 24th, 2018This was singing. Direct from Bob Craig's own cellar and sitting in their wine closet at the tasting room just waiting for someone to ask, "So? Any older vintages hanging around?" Typical Howell Mtn. Thin on first pour but kept gaining wait and complexity. Lush, structured and loaded with cobbleresque flavors and spice. Bravo!

Less edgy than the Mt Veeder offering but still is a monster. Cassis, vanilla bean, tobacco leaf, white pepper.

Oct 10th, 2015Beautiful, deep red fruits, dried lavender, mountain sage, rich concentrated. Great acidity, firm mountain tannins.
