This bold and luxurious mountain wine begins with inviting aromas of blackberry, black cherry, fresh mint and huckleberry. On the palate it is full and layered, with robust, age-worthy tannins and gorgeous flavors of dark berries, mocha and chocolate-covered cherries mingling with hints of pencil shavings, figs and fine leather as it draws to a long, rich finish.
WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS - "A dark, winey version, featuring heavy steeped black currant and black cherry notes that are still tightly coiled up, with graphite, tar and sweet tobacco notes. Reveals a buried sleek iron accent, which lends length and focus through the structured yet racy finish. A textbook Howell Mountain Cabernet. Drink now through 2035."
