La Jota Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 3L Double Magnum

This mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain showcases intense aromas of blackberry, cassis, dark plum, graphite, cedar, and dark chocolate with hints of tobacco and spice. Powerful yet refined on the palate, it delivers concentrated dark fruit flavors, firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, structured finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with ribeye steak, braised short ribs, roasted lamb, or aged hard cheeses.

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast 

This full-bodied, concentrated wine shows plenty of power in its bringing together of the variety with smaller percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. With a huge presence on the palate that lingers and stays in one's brain, it shows a reductive quality of toasted oak along with black pepper, bark and leather saddle,. It's a wine to enjoy from a giant leather chaise, if possible. Cellar until 2023.

92 Points - James Suclking 

Shows the freshness and richness of the 2013 vintage with blackberry, walnut and blueberry character. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a savory finish. Drink in 2019
