PnP. Great nose and initial attack of an intriguing array of red fruit. But finish was weak and entire wine faded with limited time in the glass.

Wine of the night, but sadly my last bottle of this beauty :( Give this some air because after that it is deep and bold, just how a Howell Mt. Napa can should be! Nice tar, blackberry, and tobacco notes with a great long finish. Quite possibly my best unknown purchase ever!!

Awesome!! I have zero recollection of ever buying this, but in the words of Vince Vaughn "I say happy accident!". Wonderful nose, ample fruit, bold yet refined....quite lovely all around!
