It’s part of Sheehan’s Limited Barrel and Vineyard Partner program – where he takes the very best barrels from some of the very top vineyards he works with and bottles them separately. This one is from one of the finest Cabernet vineyards on Howell Mountain, and is certainly the finest and most pedigreed Limited Barrel Cabernet to date.
Sheehan says:
This Limited Barrel Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits an opaque purple color with a beautiful nose of graphite, charcoal, blackberry and vanilla. This wine is full-bodied and opulent, with great acidity and sweet tannins.
It’s 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% each Cabernet Franc and Merlot – all from one of the top vineyards on Howell Mountain.
