Still showing a tad too much new oak but well structured and loads of fruit — 11 years ago
Less tannic and more fruit forward than what I would expect from a young Howell Mtn cab. Big red and black fruit, ripe, nice mouthfeel but the fruit is dominant. Pretty good deal though finding it at an HEB in Houston. — 6 months ago

2014 vintage. From a 375ml effort. Tasted after being open for 1.5 hours and in the 48-50 degree range. Heavy bod. Plenty of candied orange fruit and unfiltered honey/mead. Just starting to get “interesting.” Needs another decade to add the ole pizzazz. 3.21.26. — 6 months ago
I have a lot of these and most have been ok but this one was further along in its development. Knew I needed to drink these. Faster is the word of the day. — 8 months ago
A little jammy - needs air and time — 9 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. — a year ago
I love the balance and intensity of this Chardonnay — 7 years ago
Dark purple in color with notes of dark spices, licorice and blackberry. Well integrated tannins and will definitely benefit from ageing. — 9 years ago
Not as brooding as the '08, but beautiful fruit finishing with minerals. Lots of evolution in the glass. — 11 years ago
Great fruit. Soft tannins. Really well balanced. Great bottle of wine. — 13 years ago
