La Jota Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

The 2019 vintage brought us lots of winter rain, frequent fog events in the spring, and a mild summer with just a few short heat spikes. Uneventful fall weather allowed for extended hang time, and our last fruit came off the vines November 1. The 2019 Cabernet is exceptionally expressive after a few minutes in the glass. Blackberry, plum, tobacco and anis seamlessly integrate on the palate. The wine is framed by broad tannins and the finish carried by a beautifully balanced acidity.
