The 2018 Cuvée Howell Mountain is gorgeous. Best of all, it will drink well early, while the Cabernets soften in the cellar. Dark red/purplish fruit, rose petal, lavender, spice and leather all flesh out in the glass. The Cuvée marries the racy personality of the year with the character of Howell Mountain, a winning combination in my book. The Cuvée is 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot and 4% Malbec, mostly from Robert Craig's Candlestick Vineyard, with a bit of fruit from the Summit Lake property. Drinking Window 2023-2033. (Antonio Galloni on February 2021)
Wine Tasting Notes
This Cuvee shows all of the deep color, structure and complexity that one expects from Howell Mountain. The generous portion of Merlot allows for a velvet, supple mouthfeel to go with the exotic nose. But make no mistake, this is a Bordeaux Blend from Howell Mountain with the ability to improve for decades in the cellar.
52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 4% Malbec
Alcohol 14.8%
