RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...expressive cassis, black plums and clove notes plus underlying garrigue, Marmite toast and baking spice hints. Medium to full-bodied and firmly constructed, it has a great backbone of ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness cutting through the dense fruit, finishing with a spicy lift.

95James Suckling

A dense and layered red with a velvety texture and a rich, juicy finish. Full body with vanilla, blackberries and some cappuccino...

95Wine Enthusiast

... Rich red fruit plays around interlaced acidity as accents of dried herb, red currant and structured tannins define a juicy midpalate of delicious intrigue and weight...

94Vinous / IWC

... Raspberry jam, white chocolate, flowers, mint and sweet spice flesh out in a racy, opulent wine endowed with tremendous character and tons of near to medium-term appeal. A dollop of Petit Verdot adds darkness and structure to this very pretty and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon.

94+ Jeb Dunnuck

...offers serious richness in its blackcurrants, smoke earth, graphite, and lead pencil aromas and flavors. It has terrific mid-palate depth, a layered, ripe texture, and a great finish...

92Wine Spectator

Solidly built, with muscular black currant, plum and boysenberry paste flavors, inlaid liberally with loam, tobacco and singed alder notes. Delivers more bass than treble, but this cruises through with confidence.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Howell Mountain

Howell Mountain AVA in Northeastern Napa Valley was the first of Napa Valley’s sub-appellations, earning its own designation in 1984, just a year after Napa Valley became an appellation. As the name suggests, the AVA is in one of the highest elevations in the area. Every vineyard in the appellation is at least 1,400 feet above sea level. Some vineyards are as high as 2,200 feet and because of their altitude most of the AVA’s vineyards receive more sun than vineyards at lower elevations, which are affected by fog from the Pacific Ocean and the San Pablo Bay. Howell Mountain was home to vineyards in the late 19th century, but winemaker Randy Dunn is considered the area’s most influential modern pioneer. Dunn moved to Howell Mountain in 1979, acquired property and began making exceptionally rich Cabernet Sauvignon. The AVA also grows Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. There are 600 vineyard acres within Howell Mountain AVA.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
