Robert Craig Cellars Howell Mountain Cuvee 2020
Predominately Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, and Malbec, the 2020 edition was produced from the winery's very best estate fruit that was declassified due to the fires and the reputation of the vintage rather than the quality of the fruit that came in early. This wine is profoundly dark and deep and presents the thrilling, racy nature of Howell Mountain minerality and sense of place. Open it now and give it some air, or stash in the cellar for the brown bag victory in ten years. 2020 is a tiny but wonderful vintage in certain pockets of the Napa Valley.
Blend : 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 2% Malbec
