If the Prim Family Cabernet were the only wine you had tasted from the 2011 vintage in Napa Valley, you would never guess it was a troubled vintage that produced numerous soft, uninteresting wines. This Cabernet from Howell Mountain rocks to the tune of rich, ripe black fruits, layers of flavor, and a long, dazzling finish. Well done. Platinum award winner at the 2015 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
