Pony boy woulda been wishin he had a sip of this before going out. I guess I'm the first rating it so the pressures on, but I'm highly into it if you prefer qualitative over quantitative insight — 9 years ago
Damn son! I have no insight as to whether this wine is going uphill or down but it has hit its stride for sure! Smoke, meat, blackberry... all the depth of a St Joseph with the wonderfully extracted viscosity you expect from a Central Coast wine. One left... not sure it's going to last much longer! — 10 years ago
Of course it's too young to drink, but it already shows an amazing insight into its potential! Parker's notes and score are on point here!
Ever so classic a Pauillac; smoke escapes the glass followed by scents of oak, plums, asian spices, cedar and pencil shavings. The palate is full-bodied and explodes with flavours of plums, blackcurrants and cassis leading into smoked cherries, cocoa and cedar. Amazing complexity and strcture. This is one for the ages! — 8 years ago

This wine really opened up even after a short time in the cellar. The spice popped up from within a mix of rich, red fruit and clove. There are subtleties in this wine that require much more insight. — 10 years ago
Loved it. But I have a bias. Everything Mark Herold is pretty awesome in my opinion. Would be a ten if it hung on the tongue a bit longer. Pair it with red meat (brilliant insight) — 10 years ago
Delicious St. Helena Cab! Small family owned and you won't find it anywhere unless you have a insight — 8 years ago
Always elegant. Holds something back every time I drink it, but gives you a bit of hint and insight at the very last drop. Giving wine. But holds much, much more in its heart. — 10 years ago
Wow. There's so much depth here. Absolutely gorgeous. At 10 years this is just giving insight into the beauty this will become. Seductive, true to form. — 10 years ago

What a unique tasting experience! Fleury Estate makes the wine for a private label at the local wine shop in FtWorth. We tasted through some of their wines in their barrel room under a very cool canopy and lighted setting. A lot of the wines we tasted were very similar (lots of blends, heavy on zin) and this Howell Mountain BDX was delicious. Represents Bordeaux nicely but has the Napa fruit forward style. Oscar who did our tasting was very knowledgeable and gave insight to the importance of single varietal wines. Love the tannic, dark, dusty Howell Mountain wines! — 8 years ago
