Details

“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It comes rolling out of the glass with bold notes of crème de cassis and juicy black plums, followed by hints of chocolate mint, violets, and licorice. The full-bodied palate is dense with rich black fruit and fragrant floral accents, framed by firm, grainy tannins and a lively line, finishing long and perfumed. Stunning.” - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Palate

“All from two sites on Howell Mountain, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain reveals a mix of red, blue, and black fruits along with foresty, piney herbs, violets, and bouquet garni notes. It’s deep and full-bodied, has a focused mouthfeel, building tannins, and integrated acidity that give it a serious, age-worthy feel. Based on Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 22 months in barrels, it’s just another sensational effort from this vintage that deserves 7-8 years of bottle age and will be a 30+ year wine. Drink 2032-2058.” - Jeb Dunnuck
