Howell Mountain Grenache
Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA
Distinctive. Medium bodied strawberry and mineral. In a little bit of a dead period. Needs 5yr more age.

Wonderful expression of Grenache with integrated red fruit, soft tannins, and ever present white pepper spice. The alcohol level was a shocking 15% - perhaps the norm for a Napa wine these days!

Just received the 2017 vintage. Strong floral aroma with strawberry taste. Very young to drink but I wanted to give it a try. Will let it cellar for a few years before trying again.

Lighter in its feet than other vintages, but in a good way. Cran-Strawberries with a dash of cream.
