La Jota 2018 Howell Mountain Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
La Jota 2018 Howell Mountain Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
97 Points – Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 La Jota Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful expression of Napa Valley mountain fruit. Sourced primarily from the historic La Jota and W.S. Keyes vineyards, this age-worthy Cabernet offers remarkable concentration, structure, and elegance. Aged 22 months in 100% French oak (84% new), it opens with regal aromas of plum, dark licorice, crushed gravel, and forest earth. Layers of blackberry, dark roasted coffee, toasted oak, and mineral notes unfold across the palate with exceptional depth and balance. Built for long-term cellaring, this vintage continues La Jota's legacy of producing some of Howell Mountain's most profound Cabernet Sauvignon.
