- 93-95 Points - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 2004 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep, dark ruby red color with a vibrant purple hue and an almost opaque core. Complex aromas of black cherry, black currant, tobacco, sandalwood, leather, smoked meats and chocolate. This wine has a purity of place and minerality with black pepper, orange rind and soy sauce qualities. Mixed red berry flavors and sweet vanilla cream with an excellent acid, tannin balance that lingers on the palate. An elegant yet extracted wine that is impressive upon release but will continue to improve with cellaring. read more...Varietal Composition: 83% Cabernet Sauvignon 6% Merlot 4% Petit Verdot 3% Malbec 2% Carmenere 1% Cabernet Franc 1% St. Macaire Appellation: Howell Mountain Del Oso & Amphitheater Vineyards Harvest: Sept. 15 - Oct. 11 Bottling date: August 2006 Type of oak: French Months in oak: 20 months Alcohol: 14.8% Cases 2200 (hide)
