This Howell Mountain beauty is holding up quite well after ten years. Deep purple and inky, its looked quite fine pouring from the bottle to glass emitting earthy nuances of sod, damp forest floor and black bramble bushes. After three plus days it still showed signs of depth and concentration. Nothing exceptional (mind you), just a really solid effort from a delicious Howell Mountain offering. Wish I had more of this wine!!

Warm nose of caramel and sweet plum. Delicious palate of earthy tones and wintergreen spice. Not a long linger but smooth and controlled. Color was burgundy ruby red not a deep purple as may have expected from a napa from howell.
