Castiel Estate Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Celia Welch. Howell Mountain. Jim Barbour. 100% Cab. I could end the tasting notes here and it sounds like a pretty good wine, right? A product of three different Cab clones grown in volcanic soil and ancient rocks, showing mountainous flavors of black cherry, bay leaf, espresso, and plum.  A luscious texture, with solid backbone, polished fruit and a seamless transition from beginning, middle, and end. 468 cases made.
