Drank as part of a wine and chocolate tasting with Kollar chocolates and Lede wines, the wine was superb, slight bouquet, dark color, medium body, smooth tannins with good fruit, the wine never got grapey or ponderous but it is a big wine loaded with complex flavors, drank easily with leg of lamb and of course Kollar Chocolates, would drink again, the wine has character.

Still young with improvement expected. Great nose, favors of mountain blackberries, black cherries, dark chocolate, plum and earthy minerality. This is some fine juice

I give this a 92, but in a year, or 2 it can easily keep on climbing the score world. Now, a score is just an opinion, so my 92 scores are pretty amazing wines. Very drinkable today. Cheers

Two hour decant. Great cab. Much improved over our prior bottle a couple years ago. Big bold mountain fruit.

Still very young. Score could rise in a few years. Big, burly dark fruit.

All I can say is wow. Dark inky blacks, excellent mouthfeel, with exactly what I am looking for from mountain grapes. Superb!

Boom. A dynamite wine that will age nicely over the years. Tons of spice, mixed with dark fruit. Can actually smell howell mountain. Cheers
