Lot 275
2016 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

Elegance and power.. a timeless ode to the layered nuance, depth, and restraint of Howell Mountain. This wine defines balance and defies the extremes by offering both ends of the spectrum interwoven to leave your palate speechless. Enticing ethereal aromas reminiscent of a springtime hike above Lake Hennessy with wild lupine, anise, sage, blackberry, and ocean mist on warm boulders, complexed with brown sugar, worn leather upholstery, and cigar box. Sublime and mysterious, with a vibrant palate staining focus of black cassis framed with whispers of capsicum, cinnamon and clove spice, evolving into deeper notes of molten brown sugar, cedar and leather, with fine tannins that melt through the finish.
