Description

The La Jota vineyard on Howell Mountain sits above fog line, overlooking Napa Valley. With warmer nighttime and cooler mid-day temps than the valley floor, the grapes here develop thicker skins that impart intense color, texture and structure to the wines. With this wine, you get a decadent, approachable palate of dark chocolate, espresso and ripe blackberry flavors, upheld by earthy tannins. Undeniably Howell Mountain at its classic best.

On the palate, this rich red wine exhibits dark fruit, espresso, toast, and a hint of herbaceousness, finishing with great mid palate weight, earthiness and firm tannins.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is another superb wine from La Jota. Rich and explosive, the 2019 possesses tremendous density and plenty of mountain power. A rush of black cherry, blackberry, licorice, spice and menthol builds into the huge finish. This is a fabulous vintage for the La Jota Cabernet.
