Reserve Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

Stunning, one of the most elegant and balanced Napa Cabs I've had all year.

Rich lush concentrated blackberries, blueberries, black plum, star anise, dusty tannins, cinnamon, vanilla, caramel, toast, Ladera managed a nice wine in a difficult vintage.

Excellent now. Deep ruby color. Red berries and cherry with mild oak and moderate tannins. Wow

Berries moderate tannins. Deep rich color. Chocolate in the background. Very good. Could age another year or so

Let it breathe and it will explode.

2012 was a great year and this is a great cab in the Napa Style. Cherry and anise. Not too dry. Lovely

Yum!

Love Howell Mountain fruit, and Ladera does it right!

Love it!
