The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is a darker, dense, meaty wine offering lots of darker currant fruits, chocolate, cedar pencil, truffly earth, and smoked tobacco on the nose. This all carries to a full-bodied, round, expansive Cabernet that reminds me of a top 2009 Médoc with its supple, sweet tannins, beautiful mid-palate density, and outstanding length. It opens up with air and now, at age 8, offers considerable pleasure, yet will continue gaining complexity and nuance over the coming 4-6 years, and have a lengthy prime drink window of upwards of two decades.
