點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：7930

The dense ruby/purple/plum-colored 1996 Merlot Howell Mountain offers smoky, earthy, and cherry aromas with new wood in the background. The wine is fleshy, medium to full-bodied, with good underlying acidity and tannin, but no hard edges. While powerful and concentrated, it is accessible. Consume it now and over the next decade. Tel.

Dark color, very rich, with a slightly cheesy nose and earthy, leathery currant, wild berry and cedary flavors. Turns tannic. Drink now through 2007. 3,038 cases made.??–JL??Region: California / Napa / Howell Mountain Select to Add

Smoky and tough-skinned, with loads of espresso and heavy toast hiding black fruit. Cedar and dark chocolate round it out. This is a big, brooding wine that still needs some time to come together despite the late release. A Merlot that should rival many Cabernets for longevity. Cellar Selection.——W.E.(6/1/2001)—— 92
