96pts Jeb Dunnuck

Darker red, blue, and black fruits, sappy spring flowers, graphite, and chalky minerality all define the 2021 Cabernet Franc Howell Mountain, a medium to full-bodied, ultra-pure, fine, graceful Cabernet Franc with tons to love.

Winemaker Notes

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.
