Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec and a splash of Merlot that spent 18 months in 80% new French oak. It has a darker, mineral-driven style in its blue fruits, smoked earth, charcoal, and graphite aromatics. These give way to a full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, fresh, lively 2015 that’s going to benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and keep for 15+.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain, a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec and 1% Merlot, is deep garnet-purple colored with an earthy/savory nose of chargrilled meat and underbrush with a core of cassis and warm plums. Full and firm in the mouth with chewy tannins and a refreshing acid line, it finishes a little rustic.
