This wine is an excellent example of the best Howell Mountain has to offer. The Black Sears Vineyard, as the highest elevation vineyard in the Napa Valley appellation, is the essence of this 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine deliberately expresses the intense fruit characters of this exceptional mountain fruit and vintage.
This wine has benefited from controlled cellaring and is showing very well now and will continue to enjoy time in your cellar to develop additional nuances.
Justifying every one of the Wine Spectator's 92 points, this wine possesses all the wild berry flavors and is gracefully tamed by structural balance and aromas.
Enjoy the alluring hints of crushed blueberries and ripe blackberries layered over wild berries complemented by balanced oak aromas and flavors creating supple and silky textures in the mouth. This wine is a true tasting experience from beginning to end.
