Score 86/100 · Drink 2000-2015, Robert Parker, Dec 2000

The dark ruby-colored 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain Select exhibits a medium-bodied, lean, tough-textured, austere style with cassis and earthy fruit notes. Bordeaux-like in its austerity and weight, it should drink well for 10-15 years. Tel. (707) 965-3020; Fax (707) 965-0324

Medium ruby-red. Somewhat diffuse aromas of red berries and green olive; faint whiff of varnish. Juicy but lean in the mouth, with modest depth and richness. Shows a note of lead pencil. Not quite enough extract to buffer the tannins, which gives the finish a dry edge.
