Chocolate and cinnamon on the nose. Tart cranberry upfront but then mellows into vanilla with a butterscotch like creaminess. It's got a nice little spice finish

On the nose, this Howell Mountain beauty has chocolate, spice and mint accents on a core of red and black fruit. The flavors are the same/similar, and the tannins are well-integrated and balanced perfectly with acid, fruit and alc (13.5% abv). Full-bodied with a great, silky texture. The finish is long and dry, with notes of chalk and raspberries. An awesome bottle, drinking well now but this wine will also age well.

I got juicy cherry and vanilla right away at the start. Smooth velvety texture. The palate definitely has cherry, oak and a spicy complexity that switches the vanilla to chocolate? The nice tannin structure leads to a long and excellent finish. I have to say I really enjoyed this wine. I'm not sure how I got the bottle, but I think it was a gift. If you get it at $60, I think a great bottle. I tried to find write-ups on the web, but found info scattered and not helpful. Really enjoyed his wine. Great New Year's Day surprise--paired with a rib eye.

Fruitier than the Orropas. Smooth but very dry.
