We are pleased to announce that our Howell Mountain 2016 Beatty Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon received a coveted One Puff from Connoisseurs' Guide to California:
“Very much a wine of mixed messages at present insofar as it is as tough as it is rich, this mountain-grown youngster hews to the sturdy structural lines that its provenance predicts. It is not bludgeoned by runaway tannins, and it does have ample, well-defined, ripe Cabernet fruit in reserve, but it will require some waiting before its rigidity eases enough to let fruit assume an unchallenged starring role. Five or six years would seem about right. “
