Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2019 750ml

Cliff Lede Vineyards is based in the Stags Leap District, where its vineyard blocks are famously named after classic rock songs, and its Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon comes from high in the mountains on the northeastern edge of Napa Valley. Howell Mountain vineyards sit above the fog line on thin volcanic and iron-rich soils, producing Cabernet with deep color, firm tannins and a wild, savory edge. The 2019 vintage was a balanced, even growing season in Napa that gave ripe fruit with fresh acidity. Expect blackberry, cassis and dark chocolate with notes of mountain herbs and minerals. Decant it now, or cellar this Howell Mountain Cabernet through 2040.
