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. The 2022 La Jota Merlot reveals layers of Luxardo cherries and black plum at its core. Petit Verdot and Tannat contribute focused tannins that carry notes of toast, graphite, and espresso bean to an enduring finish. 96 PointsJonathan Cristaldi, Decanter, July 2025 $100.00 Add to Cart *Limit (6) bottles per order
