What to Expect

California's Napa Valley has been a source of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon for well over a century. Its warm climate and varied terrain allows for many styles of wine. One thread that runs through almost all the Cabernet based wines from Napa is their lush, ripe full-bodied feel and rich flavors of currant and berry. Wines from the valley floor, particularly around Rutherford, are famed for a dusty quality and those coming from the hillsides surrounding the valley, Mt. Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain for example, tend to be a little leaner with more obvious structural elements.

Winemakers Notes

The 2004 Roberts & Rogers Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning wine totally in keeping with the excellent vintage. It has a rosy deep claret red color, with aromas of the classic Howell Mountain black cherry, blackberry and plum hints which are intertwined with subtle oak nuances. The tannins are long and velvety which are especially present in the wines mid-structure. As our winemaker states "This is a big wine to be enjoyed with only the heartiest of fare! Or, if you are like me, by itself with a nice sunset in front of you." You're going to need a decanter for this read more...

This is a huge Napa Valley - but on a mountainside Cabernet. It filled my mouth with rich fruit, and still has lots of tannins, that will continue to easily age this wine for another 20 years. Black fruit dominated on both my nose, and then on my palate... Boysenberries, cassis, mulberries... all blending into flavors that also segued into a tobacco, leather finish. This wine would be excellent with prime rib au jus... Both drippingly delicious, with garlic mashed potatoes. 96 Points

First sip revealed itself as a velvety, beautiful, big wine that automatically triggered the question, what are we having here as a big smile came over us. A keeper for sure. Enjoy!

A classic Howell Mtn. Cab. made from low yielding vines in volcanic soil that adds rich complexity. Long and velvety tannins suggest decanting before serving.
