One of my fave Napa Cabs, Plummy, jammy, great balance. Celebrating Mary Ann’s Bday with family at our favorite Italian spot-Anthony’s

Just terrific. This Howell Mtn Cab delivers across the board. Loads of front end red berries and toasted oak. Mid palate has great balance and elegance. Long polished finish. Best drinking Cab from Ladera in a long time.

2013. Seemed the right age. Had an “old wine” taste. Soft tannins.

Phil brought this over. Good, but didn’t love it. For $90 a bottle, I wouldn’t drink again.

Exceptional inky black Cab from Howell Mtn. Full of cherry, blackberry and currants. Super long and layered finish of violets and just enough oak. This could support another 5 yrs of storage but drinking well now. Ladera truly makes some of the best cabs.
