This signature wine contains only fruit farmed on Howell Mountain. The wine comes in a distinctive bottle that is hand dipped in red wax. Aged 32 months in 100% new French oak.
VinousRipe and very juicy, with a youthfully compact set of plum, boysenberry and blackberry compote flavors wrapped in licorice and violet notes. This is both racy and grippy, showing serious power but with the freshness and drive to match. Delivers a long, iron accent that scores the fruit through the finish. Best from 2024.
Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateRating: 95+
I continue to think the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain was slightly impacted by the high-level smoke on Howell Mountain in 2018, but now five years after the vintage, it certainly hasn't gotten worse, and I think what smoke is there isn't going to negatively impact the wine going forward. Deep purple-hued, with a powerful, concentrated style in its ripe blackcurrants, scorched earth, lead pencil shavings, and chalky minerality, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a round, layered texture, chalky tannins, and outstanding length. I followed (and drank) this bottle over multiple days, and it showed consistently, which gives me more confidence in this wine. Nevertheless, this is a wine that makes you question the wine as well as yourself.
