The Cabernet from Howell Mountain is fantastic in 2017. It is composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and offers a beautiful bouquet of dark cherries, plum and blackberries woven together with pencil shavings, fresh ground coffee, dark chocolate, fresh spring florals, crushed stones and traces of savory herbs all taking shape. On the palate this is flat-out gorgeous, possessing a medium-bodied, silky and refined texture with a remarkably elegant structure. It thoroughly impresses as it effortlessly glides across the palate with incredible balance and finesse leading up to the long, supple finish. Drink now or hold for 3-5 years and enjoy over the next 15 plus.
