Region: Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, North Coast, California, United States of America

Tasting Note:September 29, 2017

Fourth of the blind Napa Valley Mountain reds. Deep and dark ruby red. So young and tight on the nose. Quite a bit of spices like anise and some gravel. After a couple hours it started to open up with some sweet spices and dark bramble berries. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus body. A touch herbal on the palate with raspberries, lilacs, lavenders and a little vanilla. Dark and long finish with some darker spices.

Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain. Only 50 cases produced and 13.7% alcohol.
