It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain. This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon, although still very young. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, tobacco, peppercorn, chocolates, graphite and dark coffee. Dry on the palate with nice complexity. Medium plus on the finish with grippy tannins and tangy cherries. Good right out of the bottle and better after 2 hours of airtime. Not very big, but it's nice to see this moderate alcohol version of a Napa Cabernet. Wine Spectator 95 points. Already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Tasty and spicy. Delicious and engaging. Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 32 months in (100% new) French oak barrels. 13.9% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $150.

My first bottle of the ‘16. This is drinking really well right now, and I can’t wait to see it in 10 years. Fruit is ripe, tannins are tight but approachable. Black and red fruit. Acidity still strong but also approachable. Overall well structured and integrated. Just gonna get better with time, but like I said, it can be pnp, but with patience it’ll be fantastic. I agree with WS 95 rating.
