2004 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
The inaugural release from Villa Hermosa Cellars showcases the pure, rich character of Howell Mountain fruit.
This Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied with supple, elegant power. Faint notes of cocoa flow to juniper, star anise and fennel aromas. Rich on the palate, a warm velvety entry swells to a moderately weighted mid-palate. Layers of vibrant black cherry and black currant lead to a lingering, satisfying close, capped with hints of caramel.
