Castiel Estate Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

99-100 Points                                                                       A small production gem and one of the highest scoring Napa Cabs of the vintage from Castiel Estate. Limited. 95 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Terrific notes of currants, dark chocolate, leather, and leafy herbs all emerge from the Castiel 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, it shows ripe tannins, beautiful balance, and classic tobacco notes. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon spent 22 months in 70% new oak and will evolve nicely for 12-15 years."
