After 2 hours decant this Howell Mountain fruit keeps opening with more deep, dark, creamy and chocolate notes. Bramble on the nose - mostly primary flavors. Brooding and unctuous.

A delicious Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from a great vintage.

Big bold and beautiful.

Showing black fruits with chocolate notes and cedar, peppercorn, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, mocha, coke and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

One of my favorite wines that never disappoints. Rich dark and full flavored. This wine I love drinking with and/or without a meal. Wines made from Howell Mountain grapes offer exceptional ripe wines and Spence is full of dark fruit. If I could have a choice I would always choose a wine from Howell Mountian.

Ripe dark fruit. Perfectly cabby cab and not too much oak.
