2019 The David Howell Mountain 1.5L
50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc and 25% Merlot from our Howell Mountain Vineyard
Tasting Notes:
The David blend from Howell Mountain is distinctly different than the David Rutherford. While we took the same varietal and clonal selections from the Rutherford Estate, when they are grown at the top of Howell Mountain, we produce a wine with significantly more structure. This is truly a mountain wine with its concentration, structure, and complexity. Here we get all the individual expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon (blackberry cassis), Cabernet Franc (rustic spice), and Merlot (ripe red fruit), but the expression is decidedly different than Rutherford. Should age well for 15-20 years.
