As for the 2013s, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is a stunner. Lead pencil shavings, blueberry and mulberry fruit in abundance, an inky purple color, and a full-bodied mouthfeel with terrific acidity, delineation and overall focus make for a full-throttle, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon that also manages to offer finesse and complexity. This is a youthful proposition but promises to age beautifully for 20-25 years.

Tight, marked by rich currant and blackberry flavors, dusty, cedary oak, and tobacco and savory herb nuances. Ends with dried herb and woody notes that will benefit from cellaring. Drink now through 2027. 836 cases made.??–JL??Region: California / Napa / Howell Mountain Select to Add
