A wine of myriad contrasts and dimensions, the 2008 Howell Mountain is super-impressive. Layers of intense, dark fruit play off the persistent beams of Howell Mountain structure in a wine that is powerful and yet also remarkably nuanced and vibrant. Hints of rose petal and spice add an exotic flair. There is a linear energy to the 2008 that is quite appealing. The blend is 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot and 9% Merlot. With the 2011 vintage, Abreu replaced the Howell Mountain name with Las Posadas, which is the ranch where all of the fruit is sourced. - Antonio Galloni
This exceptional blend by David Abreu, Napa Valley’s most respected viticulturalist, consists of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot and 9% Merlot. The wine offers intense aromas of dried herbs, crushed pepper, with a touch of smoke and mint. Very well-balanced, with supple tannins and layers of dark fruits, spices and vanilla. Serve it with a ribeye steak or Portobello mushrooms.
