Experience the bounty of three Napa Valley wineries steeped in history. With origins dating to the late 1800s, these legends pay homage through their wines to some of the region’s earliest wine producers. From La Jota Vineyards, whose history dates to 1898, this 97-point wine is a quintessential Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Here, dense volcanic soils and a temperate climate provide the ideal conditions for growing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaker Chris Carpenter’s masterful blend evokes blackberry, rosemary and subtle Asian spice notes. Freemark Abbey’s red blend pays homage to Josephine Tychson, one of Napa Valley’s first female vintners, who started the winery in 1886. Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, this blend starts with black cherry, dark chocolate and pepper aromas, leading to fennel, black licorice and dark cherry flavors. Also crafted by winemaker Chris Carpenter, the 97-point Mt. Brave Cabernet Sauvignon hails from the acclaimed Mt. Veeder appellation, where wine has been crafted since the early 1860s. Steep slopes and a long ripening season induce vibrant, structured wines. Blackberries and spice jump from the glass followed by secondary notes of dark chocolate and anise. History and wine, what’s not to love?
