Pretty dark and savory. Herb notes and tight grip to it. Might need more air time to showcase. Might also need some richer food. — 5 days ago

This wine and this vintage definitely punches above its weight. Soft yet structured - reminds me (almost!) of what a Don Melchor offers… — 2 months ago

Just stunning. All the benefits of bottle age, complexity and finesse make this a superb Howell Mtn Cab. Loads of up front mountain fruit, a nice floral nose and balance through the mid palate ending in a long romantic finish. Touché to the older days of Ladera. — 8 hours ago

I thought I had pulled a pure Cab but this went great with the steaks and was really nice. Heady on the nose. — 14 days ago

Beautiful Zin fruit fills the mouth. Delicious with grilled porterhouse. Finishing it after, there’s a bitter, tannic finish. Still loved it. But this one is for food. — 7 days ago

Wanted something to go with carnitas tonight. Not sure if this will pair well, but it is very tasty. I stole a premature sip while the meat cooks. Lots and lots of berries, tart, blue and red. I smell Syrah. Bright acidity, medium tannins. Terroir, stone. It feels a little Old World.
