100% mountain Cab sourced from vineyards in Atlas Peak and Calistoga. This production was a partnership between Ladera Vineyards and a now defunct Napa producer. Opens with blackberry, black cherry and dark chocolate. Big mouthfeel but the wine will need a long decant. Wine should age well. — 7 months ago

Last vintage of this Ladera Howell Mtn Malbec. Opens to a mouthful of red berries and a juicy texture. Soft tannins elongate the finish. This is a great juice. — 7 months ago
Our favorite Napa Cab- big, elegant. Lots of jammy fruit. Cedar & tobacco in nose. Merry Christmas! — 9 months ago
Love everything Ladera produces. Still one of the great value Napa wineries. This Chardonnay looks like a toasted heather hue in the glass with notes of apricot, honeysuckle and white stone fruits. Just enough acidity to enjoy with a hearty meal or light bites. Not a porch pounder. Give this 2019 a little chill and the long finish will let you enjoy it all night. — 2 years ago

Howell Mtn Cab from the Ladera family. Inky out of the bottle with notes of cherry, blackberry and bright acidity. Chocolate, dried herbs and cocoa on the mid palate. A nice spicy finish but not going to blow your friends away. Good price point for the money. — 5 months ago
