La Jota Howell Mountain Cabernet 2019

The 2016 Cade Howell Mountain Cabernet is a special one since it features fruit from our newest 82-acre estate on Howell Mountain, CADE 13th Vineyard. A potpourri of aromas explodes from the glass with notes of raspberry coulis, black cherry, cedar, cocoa nib, boysenberry, mint, graham cracker, and a hint of lavender, rose, and bay. The palate follows with bright flavors of red cherry and strawberry jam before tertiary elements of coffee, dark chocolate, licorice, and fresh plums take over. This wine is full-bodied displaying archetypal Howell Mountain tannin balanced by an elegant structure.Blend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 7% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot
