Pine Ridge 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (Howell Mountain)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Pine Ridge / Howell Mountain

Cocoa powder is met by overfilling notions of wild blackberry and black cherry in this memorably textured and complex wine from the mountain. A smoothness on the midpalate roughs out the rockiness of the back tannins and fistfuls of supportive oak, finishing in a high-toned minerality that echoes volcanic soils and gravel.
