The Abreu Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 is a bold Napa Valley wine from Abreu Vineyard’s Howell Mountain estate. The 2008 vintage yielded concentrated grapes. It pours a deep ruby, with aromas of black cherry, cassis, and spice, plus graphite and herbs. The palate is full-bodied, with plush tannins and bright acidity, offering dark fruit and earth. Aged 20 months in French oak, it’s a critic’s darling. Pair with grilled lamb or vegetarian lasagna. A collector’s treasure.
