Dark ruby, vibrant. The nose is pronounced with plum, licorice, spice and cassis. The palate is fresh and fairly balanced, the flavor intensity is in check but full. Medium to full bodied the acidity is great on this and mouthwatering. Really great stuff for the house blend. #howellmountain #cimarossa #napavalley #cabernet

Incredible bottle. In its PRIME right now. Youthful nose and front palate of blueberry, blackberry, cassis, cinnamon. The middle is black fruit dominated, showing a tiny hint of age but is quite integrated and soft. Finish is powerful blackberry, blueberry, hint of bramble. Toasted, sweet cedar tannin with quite a youthful finish. In 750, this bottle is both youthful yet integrated, shy yet powerful. Dang. Still have 1 more of these left! 96 easy...almost a 97. Cheers!
