March 22, 2024 - Last bottle of this wine, sadly. Still drinking great. Velvety tannins and a long finish.

September 27, 2023 - Had against 2009 O’Shaunessey Mt. Veeder. I thin Veeder won the contest but not by much. Howell showed stronger fruit and a little bit bolder but had same characteristics of the Veeder. Super enjoyable.

August 4, 2023 - Have loved Betty's wines since introduced by Kaj from WHWC long ago. A classic Napa cab, big, lots of fruit, slightly sweet, vanilla tucked in there with all the rest. can go a long time, please decant for a while
