Palate
One of the most gracious and polished wines in this tasting, the 1987 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is laced with bright red berries, spices, licorice, tobacco and smoke. The flavors remain lively throughout, but the wine’s mid-weight structure suggests it is best enjoyed over the next 10-15 years.
Aging
Aged 32 months in 100% new French oak.
