O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2007 1.5L

Description WA 95pts. - Winemaker Notes - The 2005 Howell Mountain has an opaque ruby red color with a garnet hue. Ripe cherry, blackberry, smoke, tobacco leaf, coco bean and dark chocolate aromas are framed by sweet vanilla oak.

93 points Robert Parker: "The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain has a big, sweet nose of chocolate, blueberry, black raspberry, and currants with some crushed rock and a hint of toasty oak. The wine is long, rich, pure, and impressively endowed, but strikingly elegant and complex. It is already drinking well and should age nicely for 10-15 or more years. The final blend on this was 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Malbec." (12/06) 91 points Stephen Tanzer...

Rich, robust mouthfeel with plenty of tannins, bittersweet chocolate, mulberry and cassis flavors. Such a good price for this big, chewy Napa Cabernet.

A I said last year, this relatively new producer is off to a flying...
