Nested at an average elevation of 2000 feet and blessed with a unique micro-climate, our single vineyard enjoys east, north and west sun exposure. When the fog blankets Napa Valley, it’s sunny on Howell Mountain but it’s also colder during the day. An average rainfall twice as much as the rest of the valley and a unique volcanic ash/red clay soil mix excellent for high drainage. This little difference makes Cabernet Sauvignon vines struggle to produce small clusters of tiny grapes. The smaller grapes have a higher skin-to-juice ratio resulting in deeper-colored wine with higher tannin. With only 30 producers, Howell Mountain Cabernets is known for some of the most concentrated wines in the world.
