title: Armanino Family Cellars 2009 The Pointer Cabernet Sauvignon (Howell Mountain)
description: Plenty of tough mountain tannins in this classically-huge Howell Mountain Cabernet. Combined with dryness and acidity, it makes for one tough drink. Deep down is a solid core of blackberries, complexed with spices and earthy-mineral notes. This is surely one to age. Hold until 2018, and could go well beyond that.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: The Pointer
