2017 Clif Family Croquet Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain 750ML (95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck)

Dave's Tasting Notes: Lush and Mountain-Ripe

The 2017 Clif Family Croquet Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the power and purity of Howell Mountain fruit. Rich blackcurrant, baking spice, and vanilla bean lead the nose. The palate is dense yet lifted, with waves of blueberry, cassis, and toasty oak balanced by brisk acidity. Polished tannins guide a long, warming finish touched by chocolate and clove. A mountain Cabernet of finesse and energy, ideal for aging or bold cuisine pairings.
