Angwin Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2018

Jons winemaking style is decidedly Old World. In a word, classic. This wine is 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, hand-farmed from our tiny vineyard perched at the top of Howell Mountain. The wine is made in a traditional manner: unfiltered, unfined, clarified by racking and aging in the finest French and Hungarian oak barrels for nearly two years. This Premiere Napa Valley wine is a true expression of Angwin Estate Vineyards terroir, complemented by a unique barrel aging program. Your 2018 Premiere Napa Valley wine is aging in 100 percent new oak. The barrels used to age this wine were coopered from hand-selected oak trees from the Troncais region within Allier, France. This region is home to some of the oldest Napoleonic forests, with trees that are more than 200 years old. They have the very tightest grain that can be found. This gives refined, soft tannins that cannot be replicated any other way. The Hungarian oak is the best of its kind and adds warm spice to this seductive wine. An exception, one-of-a kind.
