2021 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Ripe cherries and black raspberries are first from the glass, and as the wine opens layers of fruit, herb and spice unfold. Rich red, blue and black fruits are joined by the scent of rose hips, thyme, cedar, and traces of pine. Moderate in weight, the palate is layers of sweet fruit, spices, and sugar cone, balanced by acidity and cocoa powder tannins. This is a wine easily enjoyed over the next few years with decanting, but we expect it to develop and reward the patient for a decade or more.
