Deep purple color and a brilliant nose with a nice finish. A slightly lighter cab compared to the 93 Dunn but still great for the age! — 4 years ago

Wonderful wine. Comparable to Von Strasser Cab. Give it time to open up and get rid of the sharp, peppery edges & it will be smooth & round, with a dry finish. — 8 years ago

Very consistent with bottles I've had a few months ago. This stuff is built like a tank- another 10+ years left. Nose of decaying earth and chocolate. Red fruits still very present with a spicy tobacco leaf finish that pulls your cheeks in. — 8 years ago

My first wine from this single vineyard. Very nice. — 8 years ago

Deep, deep purple in the glass. The blackberries on the nose threaten to overwhelm the oak, lavender, and vanilla aromas but never does. From the good folks at Von Strasser, this is a rather plucky Petite Sirah that I definitely underestimated. Big, dense stuff with high acidity. Despite the utter bigness of this PS, it has an undeniably smooth mouthfeel. The more you drink this, the more fun it is. Rustic yet refined, this baby has a lot going for it. Wonderful fruit on the palate with blueberry cobbler and cherry pie upfront and toasted oak and spices on the backend. Really nice expression of Petite Sirah. — 5 years ago

An almost perfect representation of Howell Mountain Cab. Props to the von Strasser clan for delivering this beauty in 2011. Tannic, berries, a bit of smoke and slight acidity. — 7 years ago
