Ripe and deep, and layered, with enough acidity on the finish to keep this fresh and clean. This rivals th e ir flagship Howell Mountain Cabernet, at half the price if you can find it.

Blackberry aromas and that distinct Howell Mountain aromatic of anise. Lovely in mouth and loaded with acidity. Tannins absolutely require some time here as this is way to young to drink right now. Finish continues with bell pepper and vegetable youth flavors. Fruits are so restrained right now but I know they are here. Hold 3-5 years and decant for 4 hours.

Always a great bottle. I got my shipment and couldn’t wait. Well... I should have waited. Great deep color and dark fruit. It definitely needs a year or two. Hold off if you can. 91 now but great upside

Awesome, drinking delightfully. Smooth yet with lots of nose, fruit, and consistency and strong finish.
