2018 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

Our 2018 Louis M. Martini Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent expression of the beautifully complex fruit this subregion is renowned for producing. This full-bodied Cabernet opens with aromas of blackberries, cassis and tea leaf. Notes of dark berries, black plums, dark chocolate and spice fill the palate. A rich, velvety mouthfeel and ripe tannin structure lead to a long, cocoa-dusted finish. Best decanted to enjoy now, or cellar for years to come. Viticulture Notes The fruit for our Cabernet was grown on Howell Mountain vineyards, a prized sliver of a growing region situated well above the valley floor. Howell Mountain is known for sunny, yet cooler, days and warmer evenings than lower elevations. Cool, sunny days and fog blanketed evenings give the fruit the extended hang-time to ripen slowly and evenly. Rocky volcanic soils provide excellent drainage and make the vines work to survive. The culmination of this terroir is concentrated fruit flavors, fully ripened tannins and gorgeous color. The 2018 growing season experienced very even temperatures and normal weather patterns. The fruit came into the winery in beautiful condition. Winemaking Notes Our grapes were hand-harvested starting in late September, finished in early October and sorted at our micro-winery, Cellar No. 254. Relying on gravity for the most tender handling, fermentation then took place in small open-top tanks, allowing for precise and gentle extraction of color and flavor. The wine aged for a total of 28 months in French oak barrels (68% new).

2018 Monte Rosso Vineyard Gnarly Vine Zinfandel

Our 2018 Gnarly Vine Zinfandel is a powerhouse wine that retains a sense of elegance and polish. Aromas and flavors of baked raspberries, Bing cherry, and mulberries are balanced by notes of cracked peppercorn, vanilla bean and the historic vineyard’s hallmark overtones of spice and dusty earth. Rich and concentrated, this wine showcases a vibrant line of acidity that follows through in the long, silky finish. Our Gnarly Vine Zinfandel grapes were picked and sorted by hand at our Micro Winery. They were then gravity fed into small, open top tanks for a three-day cold soak before primary fermentation. The wine was aged in a combination of French oak barrels (47% new) and American oak barrels (21% new) for a total of 16 months. This wine is 100% Zinfandel from our revered Monte Rosso Vineyard. Though yields are small, about 1.5 to 3 tons per acre, old gnarled vines produce exceptional fruit with deep concentration. In 2018, bountiful winter rain delayed bud break and flowering. We had an ideal summer with generously sun filled days and cooler marine influenced nights, virtually uninterrupted by major heat spikes. The mild weather continued late into fall creating a very long growing season which allowed excellent flavor development and expression.

2019 Cypress Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Our Cypress Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a highly structured, single-vineyard wine from the Vaca Mountains, one of California’s Coast Ranges. The dark, inky hues that show in the glass reveal the warmth and sunny location where the grapes thrive. Aromas of sifted cocoa, cinnamon and nutmeg lead to notes of melted licorice, cherry cola and crème de cassis. Plush, dusty tannins add to the complexity and a touch of violet punctuates the long finish.

2019 Monte Rosso Vineyard Mountain Red

Our 2019 Monte Rosso Vineyard Mountain Red is a tribute to the great varieties of Southern France. Syrah and Grenache come together with a touch of Zinfandel from our legendary Monte Rosso Vineyard. Aromas of blackberry, violet and blonde roast coffee emerge from the glass while strawberry purée and white pepper fill the midpalate. The tannins impart structure to the blend, pulling a luscious density through to the finish.
