Drinking extremely well now, nicely balanced but with plenty of structure and at least a few years remaining. I’m not sure how much better this can get, but there’s no rush to drink right away.

Christmas dinner with prime rib. What could be better? This was my last 2006 o’shaughnessy and while I still love the Howell Mtn experience it was very heavy and so fruit forward, mostly dark fruits and dark chocolate with a little earth. You could tell just by the color it poured out almost black. My palette on that nite was sort of was over-powered and it was just a touch much. Maybe my tastes are changing but it’s still a good wine and well made.

Acquired new from winery. At its prime with years left. Beautiful expression of Howell Mountain fruit.

IMO this wine is at it’s peak. It’s still drinking really well, and will last for awhile yet. Beautiful color and mouth feel; long finish.

- Brick color with fast forming legs. It's balanced with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a long finish.
