This classic style of Cabernet shows great balance, a snug structure and complex flavors that range from black cherry to black olive to sage and cedar. Moderate tannins and good acidity add to a slightly grippy and appetizing texture. Best 2025-2030.

A fresh, sleek and slightly high-pitched style, with damson plum, bitter cherry and red currant coulis notes framed by singed savory and dried rose petal hints. This moves along with focus and pinpoint acidity before a long twang of iron asserts itself on the finish. Atypical for Howell Mountain but distinctive. Best from 2025 through 2036. 1,800 cases made.

Marked by black cherries and cassis aromas, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a fairly muscular effort-not that it's big or bulky, but it shows plenty of tannic depth and a crisply acidic spine. It should be capable of aging well, even if it's not hugely pleasurable at this particular instant. It's 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot aged in a mix of oak tanks and barrels.
