Tasting this after having the zin last night was interesting. Definitely a different style bring on Howell mtn vs. valley floor but made in similar vein. More floral nose and palate is denser and darker with more cocoa. Love tasting small operation Napa zin. — 8 years ago

Very tannic, rich cherries but no complexity. A little disappointing! Makes me want to open Ron’s bottle of Lamborn! 🍷 — 9 years ago

I really enjoy the Lamborn Zinfandel. Quality producer and a reasonable price point. Pairs perfectly with homemade brick oven pizzas. — 9 years ago

2007 vintage V. Deep and dark color with aromas of blackberries. Tannins have softened but still prominent. This baby is good for another 10 years. — 3 years ago

You gotta give this bottle some time. After the cork was popped, this one had a pretty funky tart characteristic to it and a metallic kind of character and acidity that was a little off-putting. After 30 minutes, totally different wine. Just ripened black cherry and oregano notes dominate the palate and the entry. Medium bodied wine. Not really all that complex. Nide acidity on the finish..some black pepper and cola. Went much better with Asian StirFry than it did alone. I think I will try to save the other bottle for a couple of years. — 7 years ago

Subtle. Slight sweetness. I preferred the Lamborn, but everyone else preferred this. They don’t have Delectable....so my rating is all that matters! — 8 years ago

Ryan said it had a heavy tobacco taste. I agree but it was not overpowering. Good balance of dark fruit and tanin. So the bone in filets were perfect combo with this light spice and long finish. — 9 years ago

Decent quality and reasonable price point. I had it after the Lamborn Zinfandel, so it was disadvantaged from the start. Overall, Molly Dooker is producing wine with high QPR. — 9 years ago

A wonderful Howell Mountain Cab from a Howell Mountain fan-ok I live there. Mike Lamborn and family are special peeps who simply make beautiful, very passionate wines — 9 years ago

Heidi can make wine. Inky black in the glass with a purple rim. The nose is heavy with smoke, leather, barrel toast, tobacco, bay leaves, and briar berries. The palate is a controlled explosion of crushed black fruits, roasted meats, savory herbs, cigar tobacco, and rich earthy minerals. A mouth drying, lip smacking finish shows how much of a baby this wine is. Come back around 2025. Or drink this now, @Jody Scharf ! — 10 years ago

One word. INSANE! I've heard all about Haber from @Shawn R and @Martin G Rivard and I'm more than pleased to say that their recommendations are totally spot on! Tonight was the Taste of Howell Mountain event in Dallas and the line-up was absurd. Aloft, Adamvs, Lamborn, Dunn, Outpost, O'Shaughnessy and many other rock stars. After tasting through many '13s and '14s, the '14 Haber Howell Mountain was the Wine of the night without a doubt. His '13 was great and when he said his '14 was excellent I thought it couldn't surpass it...it most definitely did. Buy this stuff up! The nose is out of this world...smoked meats, caramel, candied almonds. Jackpot! — 9 years ago
