Varietal Composition: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc
Duckhorn Vineyards has sourced grapes from this distinctive region for more than 30 years and has crafted a Howell Mountain bottling since 1989. Recognized as one of the Napa Valley’s most acclaimed winegrowing regions, grapes from Howell Mountain are famous for producing age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignons with rich, deep color and excellent structure. To encourage further complexity, we bottle-age this mountain-grown wine one year longer than our other wines prior to release.

Winemaker Notes
Grown in the rugged, high-altitude vineyards of Howell Mountain, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the bold character and complexity of its origin. Aromas of brambly blackberry and huckleberry jam rise from the glass, interwoven with sweet baking spices, hints of cedar and a touch of wild sage. On the palate, layers of lush mountain fruit unfold, supported by firm, polished tannins that provide both structure and elegance. The finish is long and multifaceted, revealing new depths with every sip – a true reflection of Howell Mountain’s power and refinement.
