About the Wine: A Howell Mountain estate Cabernet Sauvignon blend aged for approximately 22 to 23 months in oak, 80% new.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Dark fruit and savory herbs mingle with fir, wild sage, tarragon, red fruit, black licorice, rose petal and mint over earthy, gravelly notes.

"Ripe currants, cassis, dark chocolate, graphite, and spicy wood notes define this beauty" - Jeb Dunnuck.

"Inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, spice and gravel are all kicked up." - Vinous.

Serving Suggestion: Pair with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs or aged hard cheeses. Give it time in a decanter if opening now.
