Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

Always a treat.

Awesome, with time a diced jalapeno/serrano chile character came through and dominated with a toffee chocolate like note. Amazing black fruit and dusty soil like earth. One to age a bit longer but amazing now.

Deep mix of garnet and ruby red. Layered nose with a slightly woody attack and red cherries. Undertones coated in damp leaves, gravel and even some softer dark fruits like plums. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) and balanced. Great acidity with a silky texture. Layered with tons of red mountain berries, dark gravel and a touch perfumey. Big full bodied wine with a lingering finish. Drink till 2036.

Dusty cherry, tobacco leaf. Outstanding.

Absolutely amazing after 5 days open. Yea I said 5 days open.

great intense nose of cooking herbs, mainly red but also dark fruits, dirt, pencil shaves. too subtle on the palate and thinner body than expected. beautiful finish of star anis. #dunnvineyards #howellmountain #cabernetsauvignon #napavalley

Needs time!!!!

So young. Oaky for now. But in 15 years, straight stunna

Always a great cab, but generally after a 15-20 year lay down. This tasting was still tight, but fruit came through.

What a fabulous baby!
