2000 La Jota Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain
Community Tasting Note
Quiet Lion Likes this wine:
95 Points
Monday, December 7, 2020 - Decanted two hours. This is still going strong with pure blueberry liqueur, earth, black pepper, relaxed tannins, some floral notes. Showing beautifully at 20 years and good for at least another five.

I had a jeroboam of the ‘04 about a year and a half ago. Ready to go and really nice right about of the bottle, but after about 2 hours, was really trailing off. Still, I’m a fan of this bottling. Happy holidays to you, QL!
