The Ink Grade Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is a masterful representation of Howell Mountain’s rugged and revered terroir. Sourced from the Ink Grade Estate Vineyard, situated amidst the forested heights of Howell Mountain, this wine embodies the bold and intense character typical of the AVA, yet it remains strikingly elegant and refined. The vineyard's volcanic "tufa" soils and extreme slopes contribute to the wine’s profound depth and complexity. Under the expert guidance of winemaker Matt Taylor, formerly of Araujo Eisele and Domaine Dujac, the wine showcases a balance of power and finesse that challenges traditional perceptions of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep, dark garnet with a hint of purple at the rim, indicating its youthful vigor and concentration.

Nose: The aroma is rich and complex, revealing a core of cassis, plum, and boysenberry fruit. This is layered with nuances of red tea, savory herbs, and a deeply buried iron note. Subtle hints of graphite and tobacco add further intrigue.

Palate: The wine is structured and expansive, with a seamless integration of flavors. It presents a well-defined core of ripe black and red fruit, including cassis and plum, enveloped by fine, polished tannins. There’s an underlying tension from the mineral and savory notes, contributing to a sleek and sophisticated profile.

Finish: The finish is long and expressive, offering a delicate balance of fresh fruit and complex savory elements. The tannins provide a framework that supports the wine’s depth, while the overall impression remains fresh and light.
