  We bought this on special at the state store, even before we built our cellar. 2000 was not a great year in California, but the Howell Mountain pedigree showed through. Table talk included the fact that this family owned winery was bought, and isn't the same. They were making good stuff back then. Wine was classic Cali Cab, nicely resolved and balanced. Wish we had bought a few more bottles.

  Nose: dark fruit, caramel,
  Taste; cassis, oak, some barnyard and low tannins.
  It gets better by the hour.

  Reading previous notes made me cautious about this, but no need. There was a surprising amount of fruit left, balanced off by some leather and earth as expected for the age of the bottle. I do know this bottle was stored in ideal conditions; just wish now I could have got more.

  It's long gone. No fruit left, all dirt in the nose and taste. Couldn't drink it, down the drain.

  Much better than the other bottle of this wine that I tasted 6 months ago. This one has depth and richness on the palate. Very interesting drink with grilled meat. . A smoky and earthy wine, to be sure
