Product Description
RP99 "This label is now known as “Las Posadas.” Deep garnet colored, the 2007 Howell Mountain Proprietary Red offers up profound notions of chargrilled meat, fertile earth, charcuterie, yeast extract and unsmoked cigars over a core of crème de cassis, blueberry pie and chocolate tart. Full-bodied, the palate is full-on decadent with super concentrated black fruit and savory layers supported by a rock-solid frame and just enough harmonizing freshness, finishing with incredible length and depth." LPB for TWA Aug 2018
Robert Parker writes, "David Abreu’s reputation was established as the superstar viticulturist for most of the rich and famous Napa Valley proprietors, but my familiarity with him derives from the extraordinary wines he produces. Today he has four remarkable parcels, three of which are of first-growth quality. I am increasingly impressed with Abreu’s Howell Mountain Proprietary Red wine. The blend tends to be about two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, 20-25% Cabernet Franc and 10-15% Merlot and Petit Verdot. One thing that stands out about Abreu’s 2009s is how precocious and evolved they are without sacrificing their power, richness and purity." Published: Dec 22, 2010
