Farmed by one of Napa's best vineyardist, Jim Barbour.
Made by 100pt winemaker Celia Welch (this is the ONLY Howell Mountain Cab that she makes).

If you like big, powerful Napa Cab's this will not disappoint.

"Displaying classic Howell Mountain character in its many facets, this wine shows black cherry, cinnamon tea, dusty brambles, cedar cone, and dried floral aromas all evolving simultaneously, all intertwining in a way that creates a beautiful, complex impression. On the palate, soft, polished tannins envelope a very solid backbone. An intriguing interplay of savory (anise, earth, dried leaves) and sweet fruit/perfumed notes echo the complexity of the aromas. The finish is broad and polished, with a lingering flavor of fragrant rhubarb and fresh juicy raspberries."
