Stella Monsi 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Howell Mountain)
This Cab displays all the qualities you expect from Howell Mountain. It's full-bodied, tannic and rich in blackberry, black currant and chocolate fruit, overlaid with plenty of toasty oak. But it's a little too candied, too flattering in fructose through the finish. If you're a gambler, put it in the cellar.
