2007 La Jota Howell Mountain Cabernet Franc

wine details

It's rare to find a superbly aged Cabernet Franc grown on mature vines. Now 18 years past harvest, our Howell Mountain Cabernet Franc is the ultimate expression of this beloved varietal. The complex flavor is laden with anise, black tea, black cherry, really ripe strawberries, and white pepper. Fine tannins and a silky body, with complexity and texture that has flourished with age.

98% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot
Aged 22 months new French oak (89% new)

2014 Howell Mountain Merlot

Single bottle of red wine against a stone background.

wine details

A powerhouse Merlot with a structure to relish. Notes of dark chocolate, dark and red berry characters, give way to clove, toast, minerality, and weight on the palate.

"On the palate, the 2014 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon delivers dark chocolate, espresso, and ripe blackberry, with a hint of Petit Verdot. This wine finishes with a great midpalate weight and earthy tannic structure."
