Region: Napa Valley, California

Vintage: 2021

Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

History: Located on Howell Mountain is the estate vineyard that produces Selah, a small, secluded site surrounded by tall pines and patches of forest. As with many Howell Mountain vineyards that sit above Napa Valley’s fog line, the site’s high altitude translates into cooler daytime temperatures and warmer evening temperatures than are experienced on the valley floor, and the extended growing season usually begins and ends a few weeks later.

Tasting Notes:

This wine is ripe and expressive with loads of jammy blue fruits intermixed with notes of candied violets, Asian spices, tobacco, and cedary aromas and flavors. With full-bodied richness and a full throttle, opulent style, it has grippy tannins, terrific purity, and a great finish. Will age gracefully for at least 10-15 years.
