Sunday, May 26, 2019 - Last bottle of the '12. Notes are the same the last bottle. Wonderful fruit with enough weight to pair well with a steak. Again, clearly identifiable as Howell Mountain, which is a characteristic I love.
I feel like this one has probably peaked. Very nice. This is a great wine to have around. Really enjoyable. It's accessible enough that it could be the gateway to get a non red wine drinker hooked. So share with such friends carefully, or risk them showing up unannounced for another sip.
