“To me, Howell Mountain is the most distinct AVA within Napa Valley. True to form, the 2018 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is unmistakably big and bold with marked complexity. On the other hand, the 2019 Cypress Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is more accessible with soft, juicy tannins and a bright acidity. For an outdoor summer occasion, I would serve these Cabernets between 59-64℉ and decant them to achieve full expression.”
- Michael Eddy, Winemaker.

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.

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
A true mountain-grown Cabernet, this wine is unmistakably rustic. On the nose, dominant notes of ripe blackberries, crème de cassis and dark chocolate truffles are complimented by bay leaf and fine leather. The complex and textured palate showcases flavors of blackberry crumble and star anise offset by earthy undertones and toasty oak. Built for your cellar, this wine will age gracefully over the years to come.
