Rated 94
A powerful, driving wine, the Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is loaded with character. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice, lavender and spice emerge, but only with great reluctance. Readers will have to be patient here. The Howell Mountain Cabernet emerges from Robert Craig's Summit Lake estate vineyard. Drinking Window 2025-2038. (By Antonio Galloni on February 2021)
Wine Tasting Notes
This vintage shows the typical thorny stem fruit that is a Howell Mountain hallmark. Deep, dark nuances of iron, graphite and crushed rock dance around the core of black fruit that coat the palate. The 2018 exhibits the racy energy of the vintage in every way, and this wine should easily cella for decades despite the balance that makes it possible to enjoy while young.
90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec, 1% Merlot
