Howell at the Moon
Knoll Vineyard Cabernet 2007 (93 points)
This product is not currently available.
”The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon The Knoll Vineyard… is slightly richer and a bit more expansive in the mouth, with sweet tannin, a floral, black currant, boysenberry and blackberry-scented nose, a texture that builds incrementally and a long, silky finish. This impressive Cabernet should drink nicely for 15 years.” - 93 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
When I first tasted this wine, I was transported to one of the most beautiful parts of Napa Valley: Howell Mountain. The second time was with a big porterhouse steak which, as you can imagine, was a perfect pairing! Howell at the Moon captures it all: it is a strong, muscular wine with a balanced, long finish that is simply remarkable. - Jeffrey Meisel, Gilt Taste Wine Director
Why to buy: Only 150 cases of this single-vineyard California Cabernet Sauvignon were produced. Made in the richly extracted, super-oaky and sweetly soft style of modern Napa Cabs, this wine trades structure for sheer deliciousness. The flavors are wildly extravagant: blackberries, blueberries, cherries, pie crust, cola, exotic spices, smoke, graphite. It is a true cab-lover's cab, so break out the big-bowled Riedel stemware: It's time for a party.
Nose, palate and pairing: The 2007 vintage is an exemplary wine from this region; full-bodied and deep in flavor, it can cellar for the next decade. If you're drinking it now, pair with big flavors like grilled dry-aged steaks, roast portabello mushrooms or peppery arugula salad with a toasted hazelnut vinaigrette.
The backstory: The Howell Mountain AVA of Napa is known for producing deep, dark, brambly tannic wines that are muscular and have the ability to age for years. Sarah Gott, the winemaker for Howell at the Moon, clearly knows her craft – she has a deft hand in the vineyard and winery, making a wine with finesse that is not overwhelmed by these mountain tannins.
