2018 Almacerro Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain

TASTING NOTES:



The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark and brooding, earthy and



layered. Notes of petrichor, cedar box, dusty savory herbs and



mountain sage brush exude from the glass. Unmistakably Howell



Mountain, its robust and muscular framework is woven delicately



with luscious, velvety tannins to reveal a wine that is both power-



ful and lifted. Beneath these savory layers are beautifully nuanced



aromas of cassis, juicy ripe blackberries and mulberries with



perfumy notes of fresh rose petals and lavender that provide yet



another level of intrigue and depth to the wine. As the tannins



wind their way across the palate, we are left with the impression



of total balance and harmony, a wine that is both stoic and poised
