The 21st Anniversary Release commemorates the twenty-first anniversary of production and features small lot fermentations of the best vineyard selections. It's a deep purple color with dark fruit and a prominent spice box, tobacco, leather and toasty oak aroma. The mid-palate is pronounced with a sweet, long finish accompanied by hints of chocolate. This is a full-bodied, rich wine, full of jams and dense blackberry flavors. It's also reminiscent of a crisp autumn day on Howell Mountain when the vineyards become an aromatic mélange of pine needles, oak leaves and volcanic soils.

"Classic Howell Mountain tannins, powerful and focused, but ripely sweet, frame opulent cherry, cassis, plum sauce and new oak flavors, and for all that, there’s a crisp edge of acidity that makes everything clean and bright. Drink now through 2012. — S.H. (10/1/2007)" -Rated 96, Wine Enthusiast
