Well-priced option for Howell Mountain fruit, with a classic funk evident. However, the sweetness level may be too high for some palates.

Decadent and soft wine with a deep, dark color and a long, elegant finish. The nose is characterized by a well-rounded blend of green pepper, cherry, and fruit notes, with a delicate wisp of vanilla and a touch of spice. The texture is velvety and refined, with a firm tannin backbone that adds richness and intricacy to the wine. The lasting impression is long and satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste of fruit and spice.

What the web is saying

This Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon receives consistent praise for its well-balanced structure, rich fruit profiles, and firm tannins, though some find excessive sweetness or tartness. Reviewers highlight full-bodied character with notes of dark cherry, vanilla, and spice, while noting occasional criticisms of unbalanced acidity or brief finishes. The wine shows particular strength in vintages from 2010-2015.

Voss Experts4.0

This Howell Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and full-bodied wine with aromas of blackberry, black currant, and cedar. On the palate, it offers flavors of black cherry, licorice, and flint, leading to a long, complex finish. Its tannins are balanced and well-integrated, giving it a plush texture and round structure. The wine is sure to impress lovers of big, bold Cabernets.
