2019 Almacerro Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain

(95-97 Points)    ------    (Vinous)

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a heady, full-throttle Howell Mountain wine. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, spice and gravel are all kicked up. This plush Cabernet has a ton of character, it just needs a bit of time to shed some baby fat. There is a lot to look forward to. The 2019 has started to close down a bit over the last few months. I would not dream of touching a bottle any time soon. This is another super-promising wine from Almacerro, an estate Vinous readers will want to keep an eye on.
