Duckhorn Vineyards Howell Mountain Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 750ML bottle. This bold, mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from one of Napa Valley's most acclaimed winegrowing regions. Duckhorn has crafted a Howell Mountain bottling since 1989, drawing on over 30 years of experience with this distinctive terroir.

The wine is composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc. It is aged a total of 24 months, with 18 months in new French oak followed by 6 months in neutral barrels, and is bottle-aged one year longer than other Duckhorn wines prior to release to encourage further complexity. The wine has 14.5% alcohol by volume.

Tasting notes include wild boysenberry, blueberry, and black plum with hints of cedar, cocoa powder, and allspice. The palate is dense with firm, fine-grained tannins. The thoughtful addition of Merlot and Cabernet Franc balances the wine's overall structure, producing rich deep color and excellent age-worthy character.
