Really great Howell mountain cab. Bought a case of this at the winery a few years ago and really glad we did.
Pnp this bottle after carful cleaning the crystals from the neck. Surely needs some open bottle time, maybe an hour to peak. Nose is really terrific, just a hint of musty barn and then a great light boysenberry Good heavy feel, semi dry, starts off a bit silky but fades to a more mild tannin rich dry mouth longer finish. The structure holds or builds on the back end.
Has a few kinks in the armor and a bit of pucker mid way but super fun and complicated. Expecting the 2014 to be even better.
