O’Shaughnessy’s Howell Mountain Cabernet straddle the line between old and new school styles, with rustic tannins that the appellation consistently delivers. The fruit leans to the red side of the spectrum, and the oak toast and spice level serve to enhance rather than invade. It’s got a long life ahead and is sure to turn toward elegance with time. If you roll in this price category, it won’t disappoint.
