V. Sattui’s 2012 cabernet from Howell Mountain exhibits raw power and then some. This impressive wine shows richly layered cassis and blackberry fruits on the palate, with a hint of cedar and graphite, spice and a touch of vanilla. Ripe and juicy, with exceptional length, it’s a crowd-pleaser from the first whiff. A platinum award-winner at the 2016 Critics Challenge.
