About This Item
Black cherry jubilee! The perfectly ripe mountain fruit in a beautifully extracted and structured mid palate balance seamlessly with natural mountain acidity. Very full and expressive, the finish resolves with gentle yet ample tannins, again wonderfully balanced. Enjoyable in its youth, this one will go for decades. ** Only 98 cases produced. **
The best of the best, Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a true Cabernet-lover’s treasure that will continue to bottle age gracefully for many years to come. The late ripening and longer hang-time of Mountain fruit produces fully ripe wines with balanced acidity, soft tannins and a rich mid-palate that are associated with thoroughly ripe black-cherry Cabernet. This estate wine is single-vineyard fruit grown at 2,000 foot elevation on our property near the summit of Howell Mountain – mostly Clone 7 and Clone
4 Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted in the 1990s and some planted in the 2010s. Though production of our Howell Mountain Cabernet is limited, it is my favorite wine, bar none.
