Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2018, Robert Parker, Aug 1999

An impressive offering is the subtly oaked 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain. Atypically rich and intense for a Pine Ridge wine, this dark purple-colored mountain Cabernet exhibits copious quantities of mineral, blackberry, and cassis aromas. Medium to full-bodied and powerful, yet elegant, it possesses an impressive mid-palate, structure, richness, and length. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2018. Tel. (800) 486-0503

Saturated deep ruby. Ripe aromas of crystallized dark berries and smoked meat, with a trace of mint. Thick, concentrated and powerful; seamless flavors of black cherry and smoked meat. Harmonious acidity. This boasts excellent texture and depth. Finishes long and strong, with big but pliant tannins.
