Bright acids and beams of tannin run through a core of dark red\/purplish Howell Mountain fruit. Potent yet refined, the 2021 is a fine effort. Blueberry jam, plum, lavender, chocolate and graphite all build into the huge, vibrant finish.\"-Antonio Galloni\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDecanter: 95 Points\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eSuch an artfully crafted wine that is expressive of its Napa Valley character in its ripe and succulent red, black, and blue-toned youthful fruits and brawny power, backed by a kind of dizzying freshness brought on by a spine of racy, tangy, blood orange acidity and lifted violet notes. Iron, volcanic minerals, tilled earth, and fragrant herbs further accentuate Howell Mountain muscle. Soaring robust tannins are compact and superfine. Blackberry fruit, cr?me de cassis, and black currants all make appearances nuanced by conifer, tobacco leaf, and dark cacao. A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Carmenere, and 2% St. Macaire is harvested from O'Shaughnessy's 48.5ha hillside estate on Howell Mountain. The winemaker is Sean Capiaux. The wine was aged 24 months in French oak and another year in bottle prior to release. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWine Advocate: 94 Points\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eSourced from the estate property, O'Shaughnessy's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is a bit earthy, with mocha-tinged black cherries on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, ripe and velvety yet firm, dusty yet mouthwatering on the finish. Overall, it's nicely balanced, with the potential to age up to two decades.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eO'Shaughnessy \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e United States \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e California \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSubregion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNapa Valley\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVarietal\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Cabernet Sauvignon \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVintage\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2021\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSku\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e23902\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e ","brand":"Grapes The Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52612944068975,"sku":"23902","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.grapesthewineco.com\/products\/oshaughnessy-cabernet-sauvign-howell-mt-2021-750ml","provider":"Grapes The Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
