Score 96/100 · Drink 2015-2035, Robert Parker, Jun 2015
Another tiny production cuvée was the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain. Forest floor, charcoal, incense, white chocolate and pen ink are all present in this full-bodied, rich and concentrated wine. It’s just a shame there is so little of it. It should continue to drink well for another 20 years, much like all of these wines.

Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008
Good full ruby. Spicy aromas of currant, brown spices, lavender and tobacco, along with a whiff of dill. Sweet and creamy yet at the same time penetrating, with a juicy quality to the currant and tobacco flavors. Boasts an attractive tangy intensity and finishes with rather suave tannins for a Howell Mountain wine.
