Pale straw color. Nose: kiwi, guava, strawberry, and gooseberry with accents of river stone, vanilla, sourdough, and lemongrass. Medium body on the palate: kiwi, strawberry, guava, and gooseberry framed by lemongrass, river stone, orange peel, and a hint of toothpick. Medium+ acidity. Lingering guava/strawberry fruit, lemongrass, and toothpick on the long finish. Beautiful, focused Napa SB...very expressive and complex fruit profile. Drink over the next 1-2 years.

Tropical fruits, apricot, and a nice crisp finish with a touch of mineral. Not a classical S.B. but very nice nonetheless.

Taste of Howell Mountain. Nose of minerals, citrus, and white grapefruit, more of the same on the palate, medium body, tasty, medium finish.
