Crafted by winemaker Renée Ary, it combines Howell Mountain’s natural intensity and structure with Duckhorn’s polished, elegant style, resulting in a wine built for serious cellaring. With its deep concentration and layered complexity, this is a standout example of why Howell Mountain has such a legendary reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Cabernet shows the depth and density you’d expect from a great Howell Mountain wine. The nose is immediately expressive, unfolding with aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, cocoa, cigar box, and warm spice, all layered with impressive richness and lift.\n\nThe palate is full-bodied and intense, centered on blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry, and fig, supported by fresh acidity and firm, well-integrated structure. There’s plenty of concentration here, but also balance and finesse, leading to a long, supple finish. Thanks to its firm mountain tannins and vibrant backbone, this wine has excellent aging potential and should continue to evolve beautifully over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from Howell Mountain, one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated Cabernet Sauvignon appellations, known for its volcanic soils, high elevation, and naturally low-yielding vineyards. These conditions typically produce wines of remarkable intensity, structure, and aging potential. The wine is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot, harvested with the aim of preserving concentration and varietal purity. After fermentation, it matured for 36 months in total: 18 months in new French oak, 6 months in neutral oak, and then 12 months in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Cabernet is an excellent match for richly flavored dishes such as grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, lamb, or roast venison. It also pairs beautifully with mushroom-based dishes, aged hard cheeses, and decadent truffle pasta. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours to help the wine fully open, especially if enjoyed in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuckhorn Vineyards was founded in 1976 and has become one of Napa Valley’s most respected names, particularly known for its benchmark Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
