The high-elevation 30-year-old vineyard offers a wine of beautiful acid structure, fine tannins, savory and spicy flavors from black olives to Chinese 5-spice. The fruit has an elegant marriage of black and blue fruits both ripe and tart. A signature expression of the site is the graphite, iron and flint character that uniquely illustrates the terroir of the Aiken soils. Scents of pine resin and hints of mint accent black cherry and cassis notes on the nose of Ink Grade's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain. It's a sturdy, wiry effort, with the ample tannins and coiled intensity that often mark mountain wines, followed by a lingering, gently astringent finish. Like the other reds from Ink Grade, it spent time in a combination of oak tanks and barrels, yet the wood is scarcely noticeable. Give it a few years to unwind.Rating: 93+ This powerful yet velvety wine overflows with black cherries, blueberries, clove and mint flavors on a bed of super-fine tannins that keep it soft on the palate yet provide good structure for more aging. Best from 2025-2035. Black olive skin and earth with pine cone aromas that follow through to a medium body,with firm and silky tannins, and a juicy and savory finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
