Score 95-97/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2020
Rich and explosive in the glass, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain possess superb inner power and intensity. A rush of black cherry jam, hard candy, mint and smoke builds in a wine endowed with striking inner perfume and tons of structure. I did not taste all Hall's 2018s, but the Howell Mountain is clearly stellar and has a very bright future.

A barrel sample, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon 1873 is opaque purple-black colored and sings of wild blueberries and fresh red and black currants with rose hip tea, cinnamon stick and underbrush hints. The palate is full-bodied, open and expressive with plush tannins and soft acid, finishing spicy.
