Highlands 2007 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Howell Mountain)

Cellar Selection

Price $75

This is an inky-black wine, with soft, jammy flavors of blackberries, cherries, dark chocolate and oak. The tannins are mountain thick but as refined as modern winemaking can make them. And the finish? Sweet and dry at the same time, which only a good wine can accomplish. Needs 5–7 years in the cellar. — S.H. (7/1/2012)

Highlands 2006 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Howell Mountain)

Price $75

Compared to Highlands’ regular Cab, this is a great example of sometimes, more is less. The ’06 Reserve is a gigantic wine, both in ripely extracted currants and in the taste of new, smoky oak. But it’s very size makes it ponderous. The question is one of ageability. It could well be a sleeper. Try beyond 2010. — S.H. (6/1/2009)
