2016 ADAMVS 'QUINTVS' Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain
The flagship wine of ADAMVS, "QUINTVS" displays the textures and brilliance that make wines from the renowned Howell Mountain so we known and thought provoking. A thoroughly complex bouquet of blackberries, cherries, and graphite is intertwined with vanilla and warm spices from the oak aging. The palate matches the nose, along with potent structure and freshness that persists throughout the long finish.

More dark currants, blackberries, spring flowers, dark chocolate, and tobacco notes dominated the nose of the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon QUINTVS and it’s a medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced wine that shows the pure, classic style of the 2016 vintage. All Cabernet brought up in 75% new French oak, it has subtle oak, a beautiful mid-palate, silky tannins, and a great, great finish. It has shut down slightly over the past year and needs 4-5 years of bottle age, but it’s a stunning wine.
