PnP with a shake decant to impart a bit of air. Delicious from the start but did not seem to improve much over 2.5 hrs of drinking. Beautiful color and texture, oak has integrated. Definitely Howell Mountain, plenty of verve but precise, balanced in fruit and earthy notes. 2/13/2022

90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. 14.5% abv. I let it breathe in the glass for an hour. Nicely balanced wine--not too ripe and not too acidic. Polished with midly puckering tannins and a long juicy finish. Concentrated. Leather, graphite and dark fruit notes. I really don't have much to add beyond the reviews below. Like many good cabs, it only got better over the course of the evening. So I second the notes below that you should plan to let this beathe 90 minutes before enjoying. 8/14/2021
