We are pleased to announce that our Howell Mountain Vineyards 2016 Cabernet Franc received a coveted 1-Puff rating from Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine:
“Wines sourced from Howell Mountain are more often than not of a sturdier sort, and, when they are made from what is inherently a fairly tannic variety such as Cabernet Franc, they can be a bit sturdier yet, and, while this moderately deep, well-ripened effort is definitely so inclined, it has plenty of fruity flesh on its ample bones. It is undeniably a little gruff now, but it does not tip to irremediable toughness, and the dividends to be paid by four to six years of patience are worth the wait.”
