Lot #436. O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2008

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 94+ RP.
"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is comprised of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest six other grapes – Merlot, Malbec, St. Macaire (how often do you see that!), Petit Verdot, Carmenere, and Cabernet Franc – and is aged 20 months in three-fourths French oak. It has a dense purple color, a wonderful, crystalline nose of crushed rock, camphor, creme de cassis and spring flowers, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. The tannins are moderately high, but they are soft and well-integrated. This is a wine of tremendous intensity and plenty of up-side." Wine Advocate #192, Dec 2010
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $70
