2021 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

wine details

The 2021 season began with very little rain, and spring and summer were mild. Interestingly, because the heavy wildfire smoke during 2020 decreased the vineyards’ exposure to sunlight, the vines were set up to give us lower yields in the new season. So for 2021 there is less wine but just phenomenal character. This Cabernet Sauvignon is generous with ripe blackberry on toast and earthy notes of soil, sage, pine, and graphite. The midpalate is weighty and the finish delivers great length.

2021 W.S. Keyes Vineyard Merlot 3 Bottle Collector Set

wine details
 

"The 2021 Merlot W.S. Keyes Vineyard reminds me of a great vintage of Petrus, and if there's a better Merlot out there, I don't know of it. Incredible dark fruits (blackberries, darker cherries), leather, damp earth, graphite, and violet notes all emerge on the nose, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building, ultra-fine tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. It's heavenly today yet will cruise for 15-20 years in cold cellars."

2022 W.S. Keyes Vineyard Chardonnay

wine details

“The 2022 W.S. Keyes Chardonnay opens with an inviting nose of white peach, a touch of flint, and honey, intertwined with white pepper and aromatic lemon verbena. On the palate, crisp Fuji apple is complemented by a subtle hint of cinnamon. The texture and energy are killer, offering a long, dynamic finish."

2021 Cabernet Franc

wine details

This seductive Cabernet Franc leans into dark cherry, espresso bean, forest floor aromatics, and a flicker of orang peel. Firm tannins and smashed rock minerality are carried by the silky mouthfeel.

2021 Merlot

wine details

The balance between nobility and approachability are the continued hallmarks of the La Jota Howell Mountain Merlot. Sourced from vineyards with pedigrees dating back to the 1800s, this wine continues to carry the torch of Howell Mountain’s greatness. This vintage is a strong example of why Merlot belongs in the mountains. Notes of huckleberry, blueberry, walnut, dried flowers, and sage weave a vibrant, supple tapestry that goes on and on.

2023 Restricted Proprietary White Wine

wine details

The inspiration behind this wine was to explore these often underappreciated varieties and show how the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts. Each variety plays a different role. This year the Chenin blanc was stellar and serves as the heart of the wine.
