As a footnote, I'd like to share the following about our 2006 Buckeye Vineyard Howell Mountain Cabernet:
Paraphrasing from James Laube's Blog (subscription only) of April 20th titled

Another Super Bonus Round of Cabernets

"On Friday I had what I like to call a super bonus round

of blind tastings, and once again Napa Cabernet provided the excitement, with more than a dozen 2006s (and a couple of earlier vintages) that would make any Cabernet drinker smile."
...
"The Piña, for example, has a rich core of gravelly-pebbly currant and sage, true to Howell Mountain."
...
============================
And then, we received the following Wine Spectator review:

PIÑA Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain Buckeye Vineyard 2006 Score: 94 $85
A classy effort, sleek and stylish, with a complex, elegant mix of loamy earth, dried currant, sage and spice. Firms up nicely on the finish, where this reveals greater depth and concentration. Best from 2010 through 2017. 573 cases made. -J.L.
============================
We'll be pouring the 2006 Buckeye this weekend.

Come by and give your taste buds a treat!
