O'Shaugnessy Estate
Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Another fun comparison against the Quilceda Creek, and totally open for business. Classic Howell Mtn cab. Aromatics of baked mixed berry pie, fig, Mexican vanilla, graphite, and a delicate floral note. Fairly integrated on the palate with boysenberries, blueberry compote, dark chocolate, nutmeg and espresso. Delicious right now.

Feb 28th, 2020Light fragrance of black currant and pomegranate. Drinks smoothly with jammy flavors of black/dark cherry, black currant, fig, with hints of pepper. Has light tannins but disappears quickly and has a long finish of jam! $135

Jan 15th, 2016Not aging well; consistent with many 07s in that it lacks acidity.
