Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

a Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain • CA
by Robert Craig Winery
$118 per bottle

In another year featuring inclement weather at all the wrong times in the mountains as the fruit developed- cold in April for bud break and windy and cold at flower and fruit set — we experienced a mild and prolonged growing window that lasted through harvest with only a couple of heat spikes. The yields were tiny, but the fruit was exceptional in quality. The small number of berries from our Candlestick Ridge and Winery Estate vineyards welcomed extraction, with the only worry being the massive tannin numbers showing in the lab as the color poured from fermentation. As time went on, the tannins have proven ripe, round, and lovely on the middle palate, providing the scaffolding for size and scope of the fruit in the 2019 vintage. As always, a little Merlot and Malbec help to unlock the Cabernet and provide this astounding wine with even greater dimension. As Antonio Galloni noted in his rave review - 97 pts, it is the tension, drive and nerve of this Cabernet that make it exceptional.
