2004 Howell Mountain Selection
Cabernet Sauvignon

Current Tasting Notes

Aromas of mocha, blackberry and toast compliment the palate of clove, cinnamon, boysenberry and toast. A fine balance of oak to fruit and a wonderfully long finish tie all of these characteristics together in a wine that speaks of all that is Howell Mountain yet is approachable now.
