Wow. Blackberries, lead pencil, dried flowers, black olives and purple fruit. Full body and super polished and refined tannins. Creamy and well defined. So polished. Nutmeg, clove and other dried spices. It goes on for minutes. Superb. Drink after 2024.

Lots of blue fruits, bay leaf, cedar, and chocolate notes emerge from the 2017 Las Posadas, which is one of the standouts of the 2017s from this estate. Lots of foresty notes, spice, cedar, and tobacco emerge with time in the glass, and it has a savory, complex, full-bodied style that builds beautifully with air. Rich and flawlessly balanced, with a great mid-palate, 2017 doesn’t get much better.

The 2017 Las Posadas shows just how compelling Howell Mountain can be. The combination of a mountain site and a high percentage of Franc yields a wine of tremendous energy and pure, raw power. Inky dark fruit, gravel, scorched earth and chocolate open first, followed by swaths of Howell Mountain tannin that give the wine its personality and drive. Time in the decanter brings out the wine's imposing depth and textural resonance. This is a gorgeous rendition of Las Posadas.

The 2017 Las Posadas is wild, powerful and savory. Bittersweet chocolate, lavender, mint, pine, cloves and new leather all race out of the glass. The tannins are potent, but this is young Howell Mountain Cabernet we are talking about. The 2017 is going to need a few years to come into its own, but it is impressive, to say the least. There is a bit less Cabernet in the 2017, as the post-fire lots were not used in the final blend.
