The Character
Overall Distinctly Howell Mountain with its powerful dark fruit.
Aromas woodsy fir, wild sage, tarragon, red fruits, black licorice, rose petal and minty bay laurel.
Tasting Notes The 2019 Almacerro Cabernet Sauvignon is distinctly Howell Mountain with its powerful dark fruit and savory herbal spices. The nose is reminiscent of dusk in winter on the peaks of Howell Mountain; fresh, clean, gripping, and constantly evolving. Notes of woodsy fir, wild sage, tarragon, red fruits, black licorice, rose petal and minty bay laurel are grounded by fresh loamy earth and crushed gravel. Well integrated, tight, and fine-grained tannins will reward those that are patient. There is a gravitas to this wine that places it solidly on Howell Mountain.
Selling Point Highly coveted Howell Mountain fruit

The Story
Almacerro is a family-owned winemaking estate harkening back to the cherished tradition of Napa Valley vineyard homesteads. Patiently revitalized by Proprietor Frank Scherkenbach, who purchased the 41-acre property in 2016 after four decades of visiting Napa Valley, Almacerro sits at 1780 feet on Howell Mountain, with 11 acres of vineyard occupying a remote area of the AVA. With a team that includes Vineyard Manager Mike Wolf, Consulting Winemaker Françoise Peschon, and Winemaker Matilda Scott, Almacerro creates classic mountain wines that are forthright in structure, nuanced and balanced in character, and evocative of the wild place they call home.
