Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Reviews

Score: 93 | September 21, 2022 | James Suckling

Aromas of redcurrant, rosemary, wet stone and a subtle note of strawberry. Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Lovely depth and complexity here, with tension between the minerals and black and red fruit. Succinct finish. Delicious. Best after 2024.

Score: 95, Cellar Selection | December 31, 2022 | Wine Enthusiast

Packed with dark chocolate, graphite and black currants, this intense and layered wine should age well for a long time, letting the firm tannins resolve and more tertiary flavors develop. Full bodied and grippy in mouthfeel, it is also broad and ripe-tasting, finishing with black fruits and mint. Best from 2028– 2040. Cellar Selection.

Score: 92 | November 15, 2022 | Wine Spectator

Enticing, with mulberry and loganberry fruit infused with red tea and incense, this has a more open feel than most typical Howell Mountain Cabs. Delivers a gush of licorice and raspberry on the finish. This has some tarry grip to keep it honest, but is a forward-styled version overall. Drink now through 2032. 137 cases made.
