The 2020 Robert Craig Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the rugged beauty and distinctive terroir of Howell Mountain. Despite a challenging growing season marked by an unusually cool, wet spring and a sudden heat spike in September, this wine exemplifies the excellence of mountain-grown Cabernet. Sourced from the Candlestick Ridge and Winery Estate Vineyards, this limited-production release boasts deeply concentrated flavors, rich tannins, and vibrant acidity. Blended with small amounts of Malbec and Merlot, this Cabernet is a complex and structured wine, offering classic Howell Mountain characteristics of dark fruit, minerality, and earthy undertones. Only a few hundred cases were produced, making this a rare gem from a highly sought-after Napa Valley region.

Tasting Notes

Nose: The bouquet opens with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, layered with notes of crushed stone minerality, cedar, and hints of violet. Subtle earthy undertones of forest floor and dried herbs add complexity.

Palate: On the palate, the wine showcases intense dark fruit flavors of blackberry, black cherry, and cassis, with thorny vine accents and a core of red stone minerality. The mid-palate is lush and supple, with well-integrated tannins providing structure and depth. Notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and tobacco emerge, complemented by a touch of black pepper and savory spices.

Finish: The finish is long and persistent, with lingering flavors of black fruit, minerality, and a touch of oak, balanced by vibrant acidity and firm yet polished tannins.
