“While this new release of the Howell Mt Red is true to the
character of our playful “jug wine” this vintage is quite different. The young Cabernet Sauvignon vines that have been the core of this wine are now matured and will be fabulous components in our flagship Estate Howell Mt. Cabernet bottling. The jug has become our new “ezivese” which is a blend of Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Petit Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
The fruit is rich and jammy with high tones of blueberry and plum. There is much complexity in the layers of sweet leather, tarragon and spice. The texure of the wine is smooth and silky allowing the crisp raspberry and cherry to linger on and on. Please take this wine to your next snobby wine party to see the reaction of the guests.” – Rudy Zuidema, Winemaker
