Wine Description

The 2019 Duckhorn Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the art of winemaking and the unique terroir of Howell Mountain in Napa Valley. Rene Ary, the winemaker behind this exquisite creation, has drawn from Duckhorn Vineyards’ long-standing tradition of sourcing grapes from this renowned region. For more than 30 years, Duckhorn has crafted exceptional Howell Mountain bottlings, known for their age-worthy qualities, rich colors, and complex structures.

This particular vintage of Duckhorn Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon presents itself with a deep, inviting color that hints at the richness to come. The aroma is a luxurious blend of blackberry, black cherry, and fresh mint, interwoven with the sweet wilderness of huckleberry. Imagine taking a walk through a mountain forest, and you’re close to capturing the essence of this wine’s initial greeting.

As you taste, the wine unfolds in a full, layered experience. It’s like biting into a rich, dark chocolate-covered cherry, with flavors of dark berries and mocha dancing on your palate. The addition of 9% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc to the blend adds a complexity that brings out subtle notes of pencil shavings, figs, and fine leather, leading to a long, rich finish that lingers like a fond memory. The tannins are robust and age-worthy, promising a wine that will continue to evolve and delight for years to come.

The 2019 vintage was particularly kind to Napa Valley, providing conditions that allowed for the creation of wines with polish and poise. Duckhorn’s Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon benefited from this exceptional year, aged 24 months to achieve a perfect balance of flavors and structure, with 18 months in new French oak followed by 6 months in neutral barrels, resulting in a wine that is not only a pleasure to drink now but will also age gracefully.

Critical acclaims for this wine have been outstanding, with a 93-point rating from Wine Spectator. It’s described as a “dark, winey version” that’s rich in steeped black currant and cherry notes. The wine’s complexity is further highlighted by its graphite, tar, and sweet tobacco undertones, culminating in a sleek, iron-accented finish that’s both structured and racy’a true embodiment of Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2019 Duckhorn Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, also referred to as Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 due to its release year, stands as a pinnacle of Duckhorn Vineyards’ winemaking achievements. It represents not just the Duckhorn Howell Mountain and Duckhorn Cabernet 2019 price points, but also the pinnacle of Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon craftsmanship. This wine, along with its siblings under the Duckhorn wine 2019 and Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet labels, showcases the exceptional quality and care that Duckhorn Winery puts into every bottle. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or new to the world of fine wines, the Duckhorn 2019 Cabernet offers an unforgettable experience that speaks to the heart of Napa Valley’s winegrowing excellence.

A dark, winey version, featuring heavy steeped black currant and black cherry notes that are still tightly coiled up, with graphite, tar and sweet tobacco notes. Reveals a buried sleek iron accent, which lends length and focus through the structured yet racy finish. A textbook Howell Mountain Cabernet. Drink now through 2035. 2,315 cases made.
