  Can age longer …may meld a little more. Opens relatively quickly . Dark purple, dense , nice cherry blueberry with a plum mid palette . Fruit smooth finish with no tannins to speak of.

  This is full throttle Napa...explosive fruit..syrupy yet still retains interesting layers and slight nuances. total fruit bomb!

  A little out of balance. Good fruit, medium body.

  not much nose right out of the bottle, but after decanting 1 hour it did open up. good fruit and and not too tannic. finish ok. Not as great as I would expect for a Howell Mountain, especially 2004 vintage. Overall nice wine but have had much better Howell Mountain cabs for the price.
