A good example of how a great wine can be crafted in a weak vintage. Howell Mountain fruit at it's best. Black cherry, blackberry, bell pepper, sweet spices and cedar. Outstanding effort.

Dark plums and hints of floral aromas. Dark plums, blackberries with grippy tannins. Lots of flavor and texture.
