Summary

Fleury Estate Winery's 2010 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking example of Napa Valley's mountainous terroir, characterized by its high, red-volcanic soils that promote concentrated flavor. This wine features a deep color and robust structure, showcasing notes of cassis, blackberry, and plum, complemented by hints of graphite, cedar, and cocoa. With a bright acidity and a long, mineral finish, it is well-balanced and approachable, making it enjoyable now while still having aging potential. The wine is typically aged in French oak, adding to its complexity. Ideal pairings include rich meats like ribeye or lamb.
