  Decanted 4 hours. Wonderfully earthy expression of the Howell Mountain terroir. Drink with steak or lamb.

  I love this wine. Finesse, silky tannin, substantive yet restrained. Beautiful fruit character and complexity of flavor.

  Too early: this was very closed and just not giving or interesting on day 1, even after several hours of decanting.
  Leftovers on day 2 have an attractive smoky, fried poblano nose. Blue fruit, grainy tannins, interesting and prominent mineralogy on the palate. This is an interesting wine with a very rocky personality, it is extremely tight and limited today but should be quite interesting with time.
  A fresh pour from Boston round bottle a week later was again quite closed. However nearly three weeks after opening of this bottle, a fresh pour from BR was really outstanding. One of the freshest, most savory and interesting cabernets I've had this year - blind I'd probably be in Santa Cruz mountains due to the chaparral-like dried herb notes.
