Top Howell Mountain Cabernet ever for the Tasting Panel & Somm Journal!
They say:
With mountain intensity, this red maintains an impeccably balanced nature, with streamlined dark fruit, cedar, and plush tannins. Black cherries dipped in dark chocolate are seductive and gloss over the palate, encouraged by an innate, vibrant acid structure.
With its combination of power and intensity with suppleness, elegance and velvety charm, this reminds us of some of our other favorite Howell Mountain Cabernets: like Arkenstone, Howell Mountain Vineyards and Spence. That is, those which most epitomize Howell Mountain’s unique and historic character – as being both powerful and deeply concentrated, but with an innate suppleness, voluptuousness and class.
And at a relatively modest (for Howell Mountain) 13.8% alcohol.
