Love the 82 but don’t know the 83. After seeing your numerous positive notes on this I really need to find some. Any suggestions on where to source it?

The last 2 cases that I purchased have been owc’s bought at auction & were in perfect condition. I have found single btls at various retailers, Benchmark, HDH, K&L where conditions can vary. The 82 is legendary & priced accordingly but the 83 if found can be had at 1/4th the price. Cheers!

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

Impressive wine. Dense rich iodine quality. In my book the tannins are resolved but it may have a few years left in it. This is the best of California akin to Diamond Creek. — 11 years ago

From magnum. From my daughter Adrienne's birth year and beautifully crafted by my buddy Rob Davis. Good luck to Adrienne as she starts a new page in her life in Atlanta! — 11 years ago
