2004 Duckhorn Red Wine Howell Mountain
Beginning with the 2004 vintage, we are pleased to return to our roots and will once again be releasing our Howell Mountain Napa Valley Red Wine (previously Howell Mountain Napa Valley Merlot). What's in a name? A lot. This new name will give us enhanced freedom to create the best blend each vintage from our two vineyards on Howell Mountain.
This Napa Valley Red Wine reflects the power and intensity of its rugged, high elevation terroir, displaying excellent structure, strong tannins and a complex undercurrent of earthy minerality. Featuring extracted aromas of dark chocolate, mulled fruit and spice, this robust wine also offers savory hints of porcini and soy. On the palate, mouth-filling flavors of blackberry, black currant, mocha and menthol are accentuated by hints of lavender, graphite, herbs and sweet oak.
