Roberts & Rogers Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
| Description: | The 2006 vintage will be known for rich, ripe and concentrated wines with an abundance of flavors. It has a rosy deep claret red color, with aromas of the classic Howell Mountain black cherry, blackberry and plum hints which are intertwined with subtle oak nuances. The tannins are long and velvety and are especially present in the wines mid-structure. Like so many Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignons of this vintage, this wine is really beginning to open up and display its many fantastic attributes. Region Description. (cab er nay saw vee nyon)—This highly adaptable grape grows almost anywhere it is relatively warm, but the best wines come from the Burgundy region of France (where it is a noble variety), California, and Australia. It became famous through the red wines of the Médoc district of Bordeaux and is now grown in Washington, southern France, Italy, Australia, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes make wines that are high in tannin and medium- to full-bodied. Usually identified as having black currant or cassis flavors, the grape can also possess vegetal tones when the grapes are less than ideally ripe. The best wines are rich and firm with great depth, and are often aged for fifteen years or more. Because it is highly tannic, Cabernet Sauvignon is often blended with other less-tannic grapes such as Merlot. |
