Robert Craig Howell Mountain Cuvée Red Blend 2020 CALABRIA complex bouquet on the nose2018 was a tremendous vintage in the Napa Valley and this new red wine cuve shows all of the deep color, structure and complexity that one might expect from Howell Mountain. The generous portion of Merlot in the wine allows for a velvet, supple mouthfeel to go with the exotic nose, but make no mistake, this is a Bordeaux Blend from Howell Mountain with the ability to improve for decades in the cellar if called upon to do so.
