2010 La Jota Vineyard Co., Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA

The most famous red wine grape in the world and one of the most widely planted.

The vineyards of Howell Mountain are nestled about 1,400 ft to 2,500 ft above sea level, sitting above the fog that often covers the valley floor. This elevation, along with the well-drained red, iron-rich soils and decomposed volcanic ash soils, creates a distinctive environment for grape cultivation. The region is predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, producing deeply coloured wines considered some of the most concentrated and age-worthy in Napa Valley.
