This wine is a clear representation of my feelings about Howell Mtn wines.....lush, rich, complex and almost decadent in a wonderful way. I was surprised at the soft tannins for a wine this young....ready to drink and enjoy.

Part of Howell Mountain dinner.
This one took me by surprise a little. The intensity was certainly there but also this elegance with a silky body. Medium to full bodied with flavors of blackberry, blackberry juice, plums, raspberries, and a very enticing floral note. The dark red fruits provided an added complexity to the fruit profile. The spice also was well integrated and not over powering with notes of vanilla, cloves, and a bit of cinnamon. This was easy to drink and ready today.
