  May 28, 2023 - Decanted 3 hours. Boysenberry, sour cherry, black very, fennel, white pepper, and some spices. Tart on the palate. I enjoyed this wine better when it was young.

  October 1, 2021 - Ten years in this is getting outrageously beautiful. Red fruit dominant, juicy raspberry, red currant, cocoa, and vanilla in a very pure form. Focused.
  Mouthfeel is full body, supple tannin, and moderate acidity. It’s juicy on the palate as well. Loads of fruit but plenty of acidity to back it up. A great wine now and will likely continue to pick up subtlety over time. Wow.

  December 15, 2018 - Almost past its prime. Still drinkable but has lost some fruitiness of course.

  October 7, 2018 - Ok, the July 1 bottle must have been an aberration. This was delicious and every bit the Howell Mtn Cab I expected. Full of fruit, spice and a bit of steely granite. Fills the mouth and has a long, lingering finish.
