2005 "Vintage" Zinfandel
Howell Mountain
Heidi Barrett's Tasting Notes:
"Deep black raspberry in color with wide open aromas of wonderful Howell Mountain ripe fruit. The nose is loaded with jammy raspberry, spice, ... moreblack pepper, currants, and hints of toast and vanilla. The flavors are very consistent with the aromas and the impression on the palate is one of richness, ripe fruit, and an overall silky mouth feel. The structure is big but not tannic or aggressive and the finish has good length. This is an easy to drink, easy to love zin!" 800 cases produced.

Cabernet Sauvignon

2004 Vintage II Cabernet Sauvignon
Howell Mountain
Heidi Barrett's Tasting Notes: “This mountainside cabernet is very dark ruby in color with lovely ripe aromas of blackberry, currants, black cherry, and sweet toasty caramel and ... morecocoa. It has wonderful purity of flavor and a remarkable chewy texture that is very enticing. This is a big, elegant mouthful of a cabernet with a lot of finesse and personality. Flavors last for several minutes. This is a unique wine from the top of Howell Mountain that definitely shows off the special flavor profile of this estate vineyard. Very well balanced.†460 cases produced.
