  Cherry licorice on the nose with clear Oak notes. More cherry and then Floral on early palate, with some spice I cannot identify on the mid palate, almost a mushroom or truffle flavor towards late palate, the Finish is dominated by acidity and alcohol which detract from the experience, there is some tobacco leaf on the last breath.
  
  A perfectly nice wine, fairly priced and a match with dinner.

  Even though I prefer the heavy-handed California Cabs, from time to time I enjoy an occasional Rhone or Burgundy with a bit more elegance and finesse. And this H to H has that finesse. The aroma is delicate and floral with cedar and plum. On the palate, this medium-bodied blend features blackberry, vanilla and a touch of spice. There's a very light finish, a bit short for my preference, but still enjoyable. This 2013 is far too young.
