The 2009 Cornerstone Cellars Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas of black currant, sweet cassis, mocha, licorice with some damp earth an array of spices. Full-bodied and balanced with polished tannins and nice core of fruit. Approachable now, but this should continue to evolve and drink well over the next decade. The 95% Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from Ink Grade Vineyard with the addition of 5% Merlot. (Best 2013-2020) - January, 2013 (JD)
