Ethereal nose. So earthy, tarry, cherry, potting soil, so many nuances like dead leaves, chestnut, mineral, so good. Palate is gorgeous and so deep. Wonderful fruit and terrific acidity and freshness. Long and so deep. Wow. This is so so good. Opulent mid palate with massive fruit soak and still structure to burn. Brilliant. What a wine. — 7 years ago

Really loving this. Vibrant nose of carbonic red fruit/cherry/raspberry, flowers/hibiscus/rose, savoury herbs. Drinking it is very enjoyable. The fruit is more sour cherry/cranberry balanced by those herb notes and with some dirt/earth minerality. Blind, I would probably call this Beaujolais. — 9 years ago

Delicious. I like the sharp alcohol burn in the 2015 but the 14 had a deeper complexity and long taste — 9 years ago

Big boy with nice structure, a lot of fruit and dark plum color. You can definitely pick up the almost 15% alcohol but there is no after burn. Nice finish on this one and a big old ribeye would go nicely. — 12 years ago

Color of leather got caramel or black tea. Nose of pure flagrant fermented grains, aldehyde, crayon, a bit apple, a bit oak, and a bit alcohol burn. The nose is very pure. Taste is smooth, silky, with more fruit note like baked apple, nice toffees, a bit peaty also. Aftertaste of zest and spice, with some more sweet note and flowering note. Very enjoyable. — 7 years ago

Howell Mountain never disappoints, cassis, black fruit, some plum, tobacco, leather, lots of minerals. Nice long finish, with some tannins still present. Outstanding. — 8 years ago

All I can say is "holy Cow" ... big 16.1% wine that after an hour has the burn but it's soft and full. Not as oil can heavy as some other valley floor zins but this one is a keeper with that Howell Mountain juice. Plenty of all the right fruit and spice - had with prime ribeye and grilled balsamic portabella mushrooms and hit the right spot for us for dinner and along with the peppermint bark after dinner as well :) — 8 years ago

Yum. Ripe and silky cab franc, juicy and integrated with none of the green notes that can make cab franc feel underripe or unbalanced. Gorgeous. — 9 years ago

Vending Tardive. One can make a case that in Alsace, where it is considered a Grand Cru-eligible grape, muscat gets more respect than in any other wine region. In this wine you can certainly taste why it deserves grand Cru status - perfect balance, great depth, subtle flavors and a level of sweetness that supports rather than overwhelms the fruit. Lovely rosé petal and honey notes With a refined Thai or Indian curry this will be exception, and with seared foie Gras? Off the chart. It deserves another couple of years in bottle but it will be hard to wait that long — 8 years ago

2006. A bit of a burn with 14.9 ABV, but nicely, slightly lush, grapefruit, citrus, a touch of smoke, and white chocolate at the end. Nice treat for Thanksgiving. — 8 years ago

Last night's wine.
Like someone burned the cookies. It was thick and chewy on my tongue like spiced Mexican champurrado with a little pepper burn on the back of my throat. Unripe cherries and lemongrass (yellow green) and something resembling licorice but not.
