The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain displays the difficulty Cabernet fruit experienced in reaching full maturity on this cold mountain site. It possesses a deep ruby/purple color, medium body, but angular, austere flavors. If you like such Bordeaux vintages as 1994 or 1998 in the Medoc, you will enjoy this effort more than I did. Consume it over the next 7-8 years. Phone 707-363-6828
