This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain in Napa. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is deep and complex with cassis, cedar, spice, slight chocolate, cigar box and slight char. Medium to full bodied. Medium tannins. Great balance and energy. On the palate, this seems mature but just barely. Layers of cassis, spice, slight chocolate and a lovely herbal note on the finish. Good finish. Really classic in profile. This should go another ten to fifteen years. Great on its own, this will work well with food as well. A nice match with Prime Rib.
