Mineral, blueberry, plum, and earthy characteristics can be found in the dark purple-colored 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain (700 cases). Soft in the mouth, but full-bodied, dense, and rich, it is an immensely impressive effort. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020. Tel. (800) 600-6899

Good full red. Briary aromas of cassis, bitter cherry, smoke, shoe polish and leather. Dense and penetrating, with strong dark berry flavors that offer enticing subtle sweetness. Comes across as less broad but more filled in than the Diamond Mountain bottling. Tannins are substantial but softer than those of the above sample.
