This offering is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon paired with Zinfandel that originates exclusively from the Howell Mountain appellation. The region’s 1,800-foot elevation, unique climate and volcanic soils are the key to producing bold, expressive wines.

Staff Pick

Oscar's Pick

Howell Mountain is one of my favorite AVA’s. I’ve never had a wine from that region that I didn’t enjoy. Full bodied and dark fruit that pair well with some of my favorite foods like steak and lamb.

Winemaker Notes

From its inky dark color to its bold blackberry and fruit cobbler aromas, this is a rich and alluring wine. On the palate, firm mountain tannins add wonderful structure to a velvety texture and voluptuous dark berry flavors.

Production

The 2013 harvest was early, even and excellent, with all of our Estate fruit in the winery by October 10th. A warm dry spring brought an early bud break and created ideal conditions for flowering and fruit set. In the weeks after Labor Day, a moderate heat event followed by a period of perfect weather created a dream scenario for end-of-season ripening. Rain was not a factor, and for the second vintage in a row, the quality of the grapes was exceptional throughout Napa Valley.
