A deep set and richly beautiful garnet in color, the 2010 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas of blackberry, black cherry, graphite, saddle leather, toasty oak and dried herbs. Hints of forest floor and spring flowers funnel in after a minute or so in the glass. The densely layered nose is just the start to what is a unmistaken Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Fabulously concentrated, yet elegant with its presence. On the palate, notes of blackberry, blueberry, cedar and graphite dance on your tongue. The velvety tannins lead to a long and lasting finish. Full bodied and voluptuous, this is a stunner to enjoy for years to come.
