2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain

Cabernet Sauvignon

tasting notes

Wet stone, tanned leather, and rose petals evolve into raspberry on the nose. Strawberry rhubarb pie, damask plum, and fresh red fruit dominates the palate. Firm tannins relax into the intense full-bodied finish. The balance of finesse and power is the “hallmark” of the Howell Mountain appellation.
