Tasting notes
From a hot, extreme vintage, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon QUINTVS is one of the riper, sexier, more overt wines in the lineup. This deep purple/plum hued effort offers up tons of ripe blackberry and plum fruits as well as notes of smoke tobacco, crushed rock like minerality, licorice, and mountain herb aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with sweet tannins and plenty of mid-palate depth, it’s a rocking effort from this estate that’s already drinking nicely yet should evolve for 15-20 years.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Quintvs is a huge, dark wine. Black cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and dark spice notes infuse this dramatic, large-scaled Cabernet. This is a decidedly flamboyant style for Howell Mountain. Crème de cassis, chocolate, plum and copious French oak all flesh out as the wine gains volume with air.
A rich, sensual wine, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Quintvs captures the personality of the vintage in its flamboyant, inky fruit and racy personality. Shades of mocha, menthol and licorice add character. The 2015 retains good nuance and freshness for a wine of its size.
