Description

Rating: 95 Price ($) $100.00 Drink Date 2016 – 2035 Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr. Issue Date 30th Dec 2015 Source The Wine Advocate The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is O?Shaughnessy?s largest cuvée of wine, nearly 3,300 cases from her vineyard, with a final blend that is somewhat unusual – 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 5% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Carménère, and a rather obscure one, 3% St. Macaire. Dense purple in color, with notes of mulberry, blackberry, graphite and spring flowers, the wine has great fruit, a dense, full-bodied mouthfeel, and wonderfully sweet, well-integrated tannin. The acidity is sound, the purity impressive, and the wine long and reassuring. Drink it over the next 20+ years.
