Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot
>$50
Description
Classic Howell Mountain features flow from the glass: crushed rock and warm black stones, graphite, cassis, thorny underbrush, and dark mountain flowers are all present in this iconic wine. 2019 will be best enjoyed with a long decant—two hours plus—if it is to be consumed while young. In three years, to the next twenty-five, this old-world structured gem will continue to grow in intensity and complexity.
