2005 Merlot
Howell Mountain
2005 Howell Mountain Merlot is a monster! Bursting with huge mountain black fruit and silky tannins, this wine is very rare - only 200 cases made. Last year's Merlot received 93 Points from Wine & Spirits Magazine straight out of the gate, so this ones sure to be a quick mover and a delight to all who take her home.
The mouthfeel shows off the luscious mountain fruit, while the silky tannins remind you of earth and chalk - typical Howell Mountain trademarks. The nose is intense, with aromas of blackberries, provencial herbs, and the usual hints of mushrooms, chalk and earth that our wines always turn up. The finish tracks the aromas and palate with the addition of just a hint of spicy oak - and cinnamon, and the wine is so firm and balanced, you only notice the oak as the gentle, "velvet glove" holding it all in place.
