One-Puff awarded to our Howell Mountain Vineyards 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

Howell Mountain Vineyards 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

We are pleased to announce that our Howell Mountain Vineyards 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon received a coveted 1-Puff rating from Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine

“It is hard to miss the family resemblance evident in the Howell Mountain Vineyards pair, but this one does not have quite the fruity depth and stamina of its mate and is thereby a little more exposed to drying tannin. That it will age into better is certain, and three or four years of cellaring will be of real benefit.”

“Hauntingly dark in the glass at first site, our 2015 Howell Mountain Petit Verdot exhibits the classic characteristics of this highly tannic, black fruit grape. The light crop and smaller than normal berries produced a dense, chewy, full structured wine with firm tannins. On the palate, the hints of blackberry, blueberry and earthy, cigar box and leather notes fought its way through the tannins. This wine continues its dark fruit decent into the palate and finishes with a long mouth-drying finish with firm tannins and gripping acid, begging for this wine to be cellared up to 12-15 years.”
