"The singular 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain is spectacular. It displays extraordinary ripeness (sometimes an issue in these high elevation vineyards) and enormous body, as well as crushed rock notes intermixed with licorice, blue and black fruits, and a hint of graphite. The wine is absolutely sensational, and was scheduled to go into bottle right after I tasted it. This blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot should age effortlessly for 30 years."
