Tasting notes
This label is now known as “Las Posadas.” Deep garnet colored, the 2007 Howell Mountain Proprietary Red offers up profound notions of chargrilled meat, fertile earth, charcuterie, yeast extract and unsmoked cigars over a core of crème de cassis, blueberry pie and chocolate tart. Full-bodied, the palate is full-on decadent with super concentrated black fruit and savory layers supported by a rock-solid frame and just enough harmonizing freshness, finishing with incredible length and depth.

Abreu’s 2007 Howell Mountain (known today as Las Posadas) shows the pedigree of this site in spades. A classic Howell Mountain wine, the 2007 offers fabulous depth and striking inner sweetness, along with remarkable translucence. Graphite, smoke, licorice, plum, lavender, wild flowers and crème de cassis add nuance throughout, but it is the wine’s balance that is truly remarkable. (AG)
