2020 Arkenstone 'Estate' Proprietary Red Howell Mountain
The Arkenstone Estate Cabernet exemplifies the hallmark quality and vintage consistency of Arkenstone wines. With a depth and robustness that promise age-ability, this elegant, well-balanced wine showcases dark fruit, espresso, and earthy undertones. From our Howell Mountain Estate, it's both food-friendly upon release and poised for graceful aging.
Wine Advocate
There are just 100 cases of Arkenstone's 2020 Howell Mountain Estate Red Blend, which was harvested between September 12 and 26. Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with small proportions of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot, it offers up slightly angular notions of pine pitch, peppery spice and mint, set against ripe black cherries, mocha and dark chocolate. It's full-bodied, ripe and concentrated without being overdone, finishing long and velvety.
