This the first vintage with their new Howell Mtn. Vineyard in the blend, the 13th.

This very round, elegant & juicy. Dark currants/cassis, ruby, blackberries, creamy black plum & raspberries, signature HM blue fruit haunt, caramel, coffee, baking spices, dark Indian & Asian spices, dark chocolate, dark soils, clay and purple flowers. The finish very well balanced and polished. It persists endlessly.

Wonderful smell and delicious, smooth finish. Not super bitey but not mild either. Recommend it!

Blackberry pie with vanilla and cinnamon, cooked in cast iron over hickory coals. Black, black leather and a breeze of sage. Concentrated, young, but well integrated and in balance for a youngster.

Now this is a Cab. Rich, lush red & black fruits on the nose & palate. Cassis, vanilla, raspberry, blackberry, & tar. Velvety & smooth, yet it leaves the mouth dry & sweaters. High tannin. Medium-minus acidity.

Lovely! Nice structure, lots of blackberry and cherry and clove, a little peppery, bold but not knock-you-on-yr-ass overpowering.

Not quite as delish as the Reserve. But very very good.
