Tasting Notes

WA95
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain comes from an elevation of nearly 2,300 feet and tiny yields of 1.8 tons of fruit per acre. From red, rocky volcanic soils, it is a spicy, rich wine with dark mountain fruits, a hint of graphite and white chocolate (or is it mocha?). This is full-bodied, magical stuff that should drink well for at least ten years.
WSM90
A brawny, bracing Howell Mountain cabernet, this wine manages its powerful intensity so it comes across as generous rather than brusque. The fruit combines blue notes of freshness with browner tones of earth and warmth. Cellar this to let those flavors merge more completely.
