A commanding vintage, immensely satisfying, power and richness but not over the top. Spicy blackberry and espresso laden cherries, age this one a decade or more.
A supreme three acre vineyard is perched along the northern ridge of Howell Mountain at around 1800’ originally managed by renowned 100pt viticulturist David Abreu.
The Howell Mountain sub-appellation, with its unique microclimate and characteristic volcanic soils, produces some of the most sought-after Napa wines made today. When the fog rolls off the ocean and into the Napa Valley, the weather on Howell Mountain is generally sunny and cool. The appellation owes its distinctive climate to the fact that it is positioned well above the valley floor. Because of its altitude, generally, evening temperatures are warmer and daytime temperatures are much cooler—leveling out spikes in heat that tend to be more exaggerated at lower elevations.
