1998 La Jota Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain Selection

Estate: La Jota Vineyard Co.

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

Tasting Note:April 21, 2017

Second of the three blind tasted red this evening. Medium garnet red. Aged nose with truffles, mushrooms, damp leaves, damp forest floor and dark red berries. Fully integrated, moderate tannins (6/10) and well balanced. Solid acidity pulling the wine together and not making it flabby at all. Stewed mountain berries on the palate with some more woody and damp notes. Medium bodied with a long finish. Drink now.
