Moone-Tsai 'Hillside Blend', Howell Mountain 2016

98 Points Wine Advocate

A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon with 40% Merlot, the very deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Howell Mountain opens with gregarious blue and black fruits, dried herbs, chargrill and savory/yeast extract notes. The full-bodied palate is vibrant, expressive, mineral and earthy with black fruits and firm, grainy tannins, finishing long.
