Tasting notes
Recognized as one of Napa Valley’s most acclaimed winegrowing regions, grapes from Howell Mountain are famous for producing age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignons with rich, deep color and excellent structure. To encourage further complexity, we bottle-age this mountain-grown wine one year longer than our other wines prior to release. The grapes for this wine come from one of the best mountainous sub-regions of Napa Valley. As a result, the wine is elegant, and structured with firm tannins. The nose and taste are dominated by red and black berry fruits, blackberries, raspberries, and black currants, complemented by notes of baker's spices, anise, cloves and fresh mint. The wine is balanced with very attractive acidity and an endless fresh finish.
