Sipping Fine Wine

Deep red color with aromas of dark berry fruit and pepper spice. On the palate blackberry and cherry flavors with dusty spice. Grainy tannins carry to the medium finish ending with cacao and vanilla oak. Ok, but not great. Tasting Sample.

Very enjoyable, good mouthfeel, not too tannic with nice fruit and structure. #howellmountain #cabernetsaugvinon #napavalley

Great example of Howell Mountain fruit. Full bodied, good balance of oak and dark fruit.

Thickish, sweet. Plum jam, apricot, not my usual sipping wine. Dessert, cheese. A flute plays. A young ballerina leaps across a meadow

Dry, smooth. Darker flavor, medium acid. Not complex but very drinkable and refined.

Black truffle nose, mild body and finish. Was expecting some big Howell Mountain fruit, but this was quite subdued.
