Tasted May 26, 2006 at a retail tasting. Opened and served about an hour later in a Riedel Vinum Cabernet Sauvignon glass. Light garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Slightly bretty nose with some dominating notes of kirsch and a slightly offputting aroma I can only describe as fertilizer. Flavors of raspberry, Bing cherry and rhubarb. Integrated tannins with fresh acidity on a medium finish are encouraging but while tasting I kept asking myself “this is Howell Mountain fruit?” Drink over the next year or so. Based on the $28.04 per bottle local retail price I’d say the value is unacceptable.
